Dear Marlene and all others who are not quite sure what is going on, 1. We in the Irgun HaMorim (and say what you will about Ran Erez -at least he tries. Where is the Histadrut HaMorim?)- anyway- are still not doing the projects!!! We want to be compensated -and rightly so for the extra work we do... 2. ALL teachers should be getting a 2% gmul for each module you send your students to ( in the year you actually send them to the Bagrut) -And if you send two classes to E in the same year -you get 2% for EACH class. This is from Sept. 2008! Check your paycheck!! I am not referring to the extra hours we get. 3. HOTS-two issues here-We want to be paid for our time and the pedagogical issues of HOTS which have been discussed at length. NO ONE in the Irgun HaMorim should be taking the course or implementing it. On a personal note, I certainly will gladly take the "few extra shekels" for all this extra work which someone referred to. First of all, it adds up. But most of all, we are professionals who work very hard and we deserve to be compensated for extra work -just like any other profession! Let's hang in there..and Histadrut people -why not get your union involved?? Let's hear from you!!!
