**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Dear Etniers, Since Nina mentioned grandchildren, I feel I must react. What worries me most is the fact that in trying to properly implement the NBA , I don't have enough time to spend with my dearest newly born grandchildren. Although I am a veteran teacher,now with the new curriculum, I work twice as much as I used to in the past and for the same salary. Theoretically, the NBA and the modular system are great, but for us, the teachers, it means a lot of extra work( NBA courses, on-line courses ,projects,magen grade for each module,etc., etc.) and a great deal of confusion. So ,for those who find it difficult to understand , please make an effort to listen to us, the conscientious teachers. Now that I have said it, I can continue marking book reports, projects and magen exams. Enjoy your holiday.
