Subject: my apologies

To Sharon and Sara, (and anyone else who took offense at my words):

I want to apologize for offending you both regarding my agreement with Dov 
Bloom's remarks on projects. Here in Netivot although we're a small city of 
about 30,000 almost all the h.s. teachers know one another and keep in 
touch. AND all of us do projects in grade 10. Hence I mistakenly assumed 
that this was par for the course throughout the country. (Some teachers of 5 
pointers do an additional one in 11th or 12th grade, but everyone does one 
in 10th grade.)

I had no intention of "putting down" anyone who due to last year's strike 
refrained from doing projects. Last year, although a histadrut memeber, I 
downloaded a petition and had many folks sign it then forwarded it to the 
Irgun. I also wrote Knesset members. My criticism was intended for the lazy 
teachers who we all know do exist out there. I would venture to guess that 
these teachers usually do not post on ETNI .

These "silent" ones are the same teachers I've heard muttering quietly to 
colleagues at in-service courses (not knowing that they are being 
overheard,) "Come on! Who the $#%^&* teaches literature anyway????"

 Mea culpa for assuming everyone does things the way my colleagues and I do 
in Netivot. So, if you were offended, once again I apologize! (And, I 
apologize to ETNI readers who've had to read too many of my posts of late:)

Shabbat Shalom-
Esther Revivo
