**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Hello all, I promised an update to my previous message. I spoke with Nurit at the Irgun office on Thurs. (not Bracha Metziel). She informed me that a letter would go out to all schools this week with the Irgun's platform on the NBA issue as being discussed now. I told Nurit that I personally did not think it was practical to stop in our tracks. I explained that many schools, including my own, are using textbooks geared to the new curriculum. I added that I have 11th graders taking modules E and F this year....we are in the throes of project work as I am with my 10th graders now, too. I questioned if I was supposed to put that all on hold in the middle? It doesn't make sense to me and I don't want to penalize the kids if they have to take the new exam and that's how it stands right now. (And due to that, I've left cloze exercises behind.) I find it very distressing as most of us, that the technicalities of the NBA were not properly worked out before implementation and they must be dealt with immediately so that all teachers are paid in full for their work! I don't want to repeat what many have already written. There are some true grievances here. Basically, I agree with Bari and will spare you a long treatise.
