[etni] Take Action

So the Ministry actually had the audacity to send Aviva's school a letter 
stating that they intend lowering her schools' English Magen grades.  What an 
absolute Chutzpah!  Are they unaware of what a fashla the tests were?  Did our 
Chief Inspector not bother to explain what had happened?
What happened to Aviva is surely going to happen to additional schools - none 
of us is immune.  We all "sinned" by giving the magens according to the level 
that we were misled into believing would be on the final exams.  Of course, it 
is redundant to state that there was no correlation between the exam and the 
tests we all gave to our 12th graders.

All the work I put in during the summer seems to have been in vain, judging by 
the responses I have received.  The ministry is in total denial and exonerates 
itself completely of any blame for the poor results.
Today Lauren and I contacted the Irgun and, once again, my overworked fax went 
into business.

I implore as many teachers as possible to bombard Judy, Ronit Tirosh and Bracha 
Maziel with their private grievances.  Maybe they will finally get the message 
when a great number of messages start flooding (I hope) their faxes and emails. 
 Apparently our letters, together with a page of 170 signatures isn't enough.  
Now is the time to start writing individually.

Here are the fax numbers; 
Ronit Tirosh     02 5602336
Judy Steiner    02 5603596
Bracha Maziel  03 5667695

In addition, send copies to 
Sholomo Alon (the chief inspector)          02 5603596
Prof. Yaacov Katz (the pedagogical head of the Ministry)     025602085
