**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** In reply to Mitzi, During most of the cancelled hours, many teachers are asked to substitute for other teachers who are absent. Even if teachers are not asked to substitute for others, they still have to come to school and stay there.=20 Sigalit=20 ________________________________________________________________________ ___ Hi Everyone, Though it's true that we don't get paid extra for work on the day of the bagrut exam or for marking "matkonot", we are also not docked pay for the many cancelled lessons when our students are off for the day because it's the day before another bagrut or they're taking a matkonet in another subject. I think it all evens out in the end. That is not to say that our miniscule hourly rate is reasonable, but I think we are paid for all of the hours we teach including the extra hours around bagrut time.
