HI! In response to Renee's mail. What's the fuss? why is this an insult? Every few years the ministry of education tries to recruit new olim. I am sure some of you became teachers this way. Don't worry - every few years they fail. People join the courses, thinking they have found their "destination", then they get into the schools and most of them just run away... I remember, about 12 - 13 years ago there was a similar course and after a few months in the real world, with all the support we gave them, almost no one was left in the schools. Anyway, what if they do succeed? Any harm done? All the best to all of you, especially to those in the south! Talila Hi All, Below is the text of a message that is being sent to the mailing lists of various English speaking communities, as well as being distributed through the Jewish Agency, Nefesn b'Nefesh and other groups that encourage aliah, and sponsored and supported by our Ministry of Education. I wrote the signators my own reply, but I have a feeling that many of you might have something to say about this as well and believe that we need to make ourselves heard. Here it is: Renee Wahl  www.gamelishcards.com quality card games The fun way to learn English 0545-488377 Talila ----------------------------------------------- Call for Articles The Etni Rag needs you ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
