The article that Miri refers to should be required reading. According to the
following, we in Israel are stuck in the 1970s and 1980s. And now I'm
confused as to who the renegades are.
"While the stereotypical trendy English teacher of the 1970s and 1980s, who
promoted free expression at all costs, has now become a figure of widespread
ridicule inside and outside the educational establishment, Motion suspects
some renegades remain. These teachers, from what he calls the "let it all
hang out" school, are doing students a disservice, he insists."

Enjoy.
