**** The NBA Poll - www.etni.org - Have you voted yet? **** Aviva wrote: "Many teachers said it needs to be fixed and has flaws.. but they did not say it is bad." Yeah, right. It needs to be fixed and has flaws, and that makes it good? Not the way I read English. Having flaws and needing to be fixed does not equal good, and "better than the old Bagrut" is fairly meaningless. How much better? A lot? A tiny little bit and let's be happy with crumbs? Let's look at it the other way. How many teachers are totally in favor/happy? 4%. How many think it is terrific but it is the teachers who are screwing up (if I properly understand the implications of "implemented")? 14%. That leaves 72% who are a lot less than enthusiastic, half of whom (36%) think it is simply bad. That is nothing like 50-50. Even if we do count the new teachers, only 18% are unreservedly happy. And although more than 200 people have voted, the month isn't even half over.
