Barry: I am a teacher AND a counselor (as are ALL counselors in the field)
and I can attest to the fact that I have finally stopped talking to myself
(and people have stopped looking at me strangely... so I guess that's a
good thing).
Thank you for that , Barry , framing the situation in the way the whole
thing is being handled: Theater of the Absurd.
On a more serious note, Ron Erez is making us educators as successful as
the government is, in making peace in the Middle East. Don't we always tell
our students to TALK about their disagreements, rather than FIGHT about
them - or play "brogez" and not talk to each other at all? By following
Ran Erez, Irgun teachers are not bettering our cause - they are getting us
all stuck in the mud.
Counselors are here BECAUSE we are veteran, experienced teachers, chosen
for our expertise and sent to other schools to share our insights and HELP.
The stupid directive of not agreeing to talk to us advances nothing, helps
no one and just makes the teachers lives harder.
I am happy to say that aside from one school, NONE of my other school
visits have been cancelled, because when I ask them if they are not
following irgun directives, they say "heck no!" We need your help! And as
Rakezet shiluvit, in charge of the kitvei minui for oral testing, NONE of
my schools have "forgotten" how to contact me (in fact, any way they could
think of: phone, email, FB messenger, whats App, SMS... you name it -
contact THRIVES!) SO enough with the hypocrisy!
STOP follow Ran Erez off cliffs like lemmings, and start using common sense
in settling this. (As it is all of you who are Irgun and not grading
literature because you are "following directives" can FORGET about Passover
vacations, because it is NOT going to be cancelled for the 12th graders,
and you WILL have to send in literature grades. )

long non âcard- punching ,contact refusing,
survey abstaining, alternative assessment-balking days that lie
formidably ahead.
