What information does Ran Erez have?
Has he been told that literature has always been part of the curriculum?
Has he been told that literature was on the written exam for years and then it
was transferred to the oral exam and then it was removed from the oral exam to
be worked on internally as a portfolio and its weight has been 30 % of the
yearly grade (tziun shnati).
Does he know that literature is NOT new to the curriculum. It was always
there.
When the new curriculum came out in 2000 one of the modules was supposed to
test literature but there was a problem with the writers' rights (zchuyot
yotzrim) and that is why it did not make it then (to the best of my knowledge).
Does Ran Erez know that the whole issue here is mainly about how to test the
literature?
Does Ran Erez know that English teachers have been going to hishtalmuyot all
the time no matter what the topic was?
I have this feeling that Ran Erez has been misinformed about the literature in
Bagrut and maybe some of you teachers have forgotten that literature has to be
taught precisely because it was taken off the bagrut exam.
If doing a job well is being a "fraier" well I guess that is what I aim to be...
I think all teachers are underpaid. I think all teachers are underappreciated.
I think that the size of the classes is unthinkable and unteachable. I think
all the teachers in the country came out of the strike with absolutely nothing.
I think that Ofek Chadash is very bad for the teachers as far as compensation
and rights go.
But the literature programme, come on. It has really been blown out of
proportion.
