I guess that those of us who teach in schools that routinely end after four (some finish English as late as 8) haven't even bothered replying/voting. What are we expected to do? stay overnight in the dorms? It would be nice to be paid for office/receiving students hours, but our class hours have been cut, and in many schools hakbatzot have been eliminated, meaning more kids in a group--and more levels. I've been subbing in a junior high, in addition to my high school work, and even though the student body is middle class from academic homes, it's not encouraging. I'm certain that I'm not a minority of one. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion. Just like those of us who have no internet facilities for projects now realize that we're a sizable group.
