[etni] Not fair to make LD pupiils suffer!

Call me a "friarit" or a strike breaker, but I do not agree that LD pupils 
should be penalized due to our work dispute. I personally know from my nieces 
what tremendous difficulties an LD pupil has, not only learning issues, but 
issues with self-image; social problems; etc.
 
 
At present I am  on early pension and teach only 9th and 10th grades, the eight 
hours I am allowed to teach. I WILL test orally (regular tests) my LD pupils 
and do what ever I must to make their load a little easier to carry. They have 
more than enough to deal with without us making it harder for them. (I mean the 
REAL LD pupils; not those who purchased hatamot for 1,700 shekels.)
 
YES we should be compensated for tracking down walkmans; making cassettes; 
testing orally; etc. However I do NOT have the heart to make  pupils already 
dealing with such challenges as those mentioned above suffer because of a 
monetary dispute between the Irgun and the Ministry. I don't believe 
that  teachers with LD children at home, (or members of his/ her close 
family) would say aloud  anything different unless they're afraid to speak out, 
which I am not. (This is why I opposed in the past publishing anonymous 
e-mails.)
 
The other sanctions I  recognize as legitimate, but not this one.
