Thanks for publishing those parts of the editorial in Haaretz on Thursday that
sum up the strike and its results. I had not read them before.
Yes, I am disppointed with the results but not with what I myself and so many
other teachers like me have done during the strike.
And, yes, there is no other way to raise awareness of the need for change.
The stike was a must .
And, yes, The Education Ministry will find it difficult to continue with its
familiar routine of imposing changes without first consulting and considering
teachers. We English teachers must be there to make ourselves heard because
enough is enough, and it is more than enough what we are required, expected
etc. to do. WE have written that here and elsewhere. We will be there when the
time comes.
And, yes, It will be impossible to ignore thousands of teachers who
demonstrated and explained and wrote letters... Well, I don't know about
thousands of English teachers who did that, but ETNI and the Matot Maavak
(local and regional) are a good example of the many English teachers who
managed to speak up, write down, shout to the right and left, jumped forward,
stood backward, etc.
We will have to be taken into account.
Yes, yes: We must believe this, at least, in light of the length of the
strike and the meager results obtained. The strike is over, but this aspect of
the struggle, just like the struggle for public education in Israel is not.
And, please, on this there is no difference among English teachers as to us
being Irgun (like me) or Histadrut.
Best wishes

BTW - believe it or not - there are updates regarding Friday's post-strike
activity at the tent in Jerusalem at 13.00 .
