Hi Batya and ETNI colleagues-
This article is indeed heartwarming,. It just goes to show that:
1) There are no shortcuts--to achieve good results, more is needed than
just teachers' hard work--funding specific programs for weak pupils absolutely
MUST be done in order to achieve results
2) Class size DOES matter.
'Most important, said the principal, Evelyn Terrell, smaller classes, of 18
to 22 children, allowed for more personal instruction. In previous years,
fifth-grade classes had had 30 or more students.'
I would LOVE to send this article on to Limor Livnat and Shlomo
Dovrat--seriously! (could they handle the level of English?!)
In order to compare our Meitzav results accurately with those described in
the article, the conditions also have to be similar.
Seems like a 'no-brainer', but.........
Happy Holiday-
Margie
