----- Original Message ----- From: laurie ornstein - laurenmadeline@xxxxxxxxx Subject: lobby Hi All, I'm mulling the lobby issue. I think we first have to formulate a document stating our "special needs" as English teachers. The document should relate to the past years of deterioration of our working conditions due to changes in the curriculum but emphasize the future. It should be written in a positive tone. In other words, the "problem" is not necessarily the change but its implementation. It's clear that the English teachers must have a more active role in the decision-making levels. Anything else? Your input, please!
