[etni] Re: the polls Re: etni Digest V5 #19

We should bother with the polls because: 1. It is interesting to see
what the people who vote think. 2. It's good to express our opinion
whether or not it affects official policy
3. You never know who may be listening 4. the comments people make on
the polls are often interesting and enlightening  and 5. Why not?
We're not hurting anyone, this doesn't cost anyone anything and it
doesn't require much effort.  Sometimes it's good just to get an
opinion out there.

the more veteran teachers opposed.

language, under 75% knowledge retention (pass) it's hard to really progress.  That's why the 
kids know less and less.  Also their Hebrew grammar has deteriorated making foreign 
languages more difficult to learn.
