[etni] don't take anything for granted (and what's up with Passover break?)

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****

I mentioned today in my 10th grade 5-point class that quite a few of
the compositions I got had very poor punctuation -- lots of commas and
no periods, or just one at the very end.  The reply that I got from
one of the students was this:

"Teacher, you should have told us in advance that you pay attention to
periods and commas."

I hope we don't reach the point where I have to tell them in advance
that their composition has to be in English.

And as for Passover...  Is the new vacation schedule a national thing
or is it just some schools deciding to have class on Friday the 15th
and then make the day after Yom Ha'atzmaut (a Friday) a day off?  I
really love it when we're told about these kinds of changes just two
weeks in advance.
