Subject: re: book reports

We are EFL teachers, teaching a foreign language, here in Israel.
For some peculiar reason, our curriculum is modeled on that of a
native speaker.  Maybe the "powers" wish they were teaching in Tempe,
Chicago or Portland.

Our job should be teaching English, not bookreports, research papers
(projects) etc.  It's bad enough that we are frequently the only teachers
the kids meet who demand summarizing and well-written compositions.
We really should be improving our Hebrew and branching out into the
general curriculum where our talents and ambitions could be properly utilized.
