**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** I presume there will be those, rightfully, thinking that if I think that all the basic skills should be taught pre-high school in the kids' Hebrew studies, I should be doing something about it. Well, I do suggest to everyone I know in influential senior positions (not the English staff, the jhs I'm associated with and the head of education of my region). It's a fine line between "nudge" and "suggest." Again, it is not our responsibility to teach basic language and research skills. We barely have enough hours for English. In all honesty, I resent this extra burden, though I do my very best to fulfill my responsibilities.
