Subject: Re: praying for an answerI also work in a religious school and anyone who teaches the first hour is expected to come in earlier to pray with the class. We do not get an extra agora for that! It is considered part of the job. I have never even thought of being paid for it, but that's a great idea!

I was enjoying a thought provoking article in the JPost by Calev Ben David
about the Tali educational system, when I came across the following statement "... to force the Education Ministry to fund instructional hours for prayer in Tali schools to the same extent that it funds them in the State religious schools." Now I am an English teacher, and I teach in a religious school. Whenever I teach in the first period, I am expected to arrive 40 minutes earlier to pray with the pupils. I have never received any renumeration for these extra hours. It's just taken for granted. The article seemed to imply that these hours are paid for. Is anyone out there in the same position as I, and ever been paid? Has anyone got any idea of our rights in the matter? In fact has anyone ever thought about it? -----------------------------------------------** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il **
