I am at present a teacher of Dovrei Anglit in the Sharon area. Apparently a
parent of one of the pupils in the area complained in an anonymous letter
about the fact that the classes, which were conducted during school hours,
were subsidized by the parents and not given through school hours (and thus
paid for by the school). Consequently a lawsuit followed: the decision was
that this was an instance of grey education ("talan") and the problem was
that it was an extra class paid for by parents that was NOT open to all
students, and therefore illegal. Therefore, as of next year all dovrei
anglit classes that are paid for by parents (i.e. not by school hours) will
be cancelled and the Native speakers will study in the regular English
class. What is most disturbing is the fact that teachers and pupils have not
been notified about this court order and only vague reports have leaked out.
Teachers will be out of jobs as of September 1st and are not aware of this
fact. Other teachers will have heterogeneous, large classes that might
include weak learners as well as native speakers. And, finally the native
speakers will be bored and only those families who have the financial means
to do so will be able to send their children to private lessons after school
hours. I do not wish to say which school was responsible for fear of
repercussions.
