Subject: Re: 4-5 p catch At last somebody - Ruth - has suggested taking my suggestion seriously.Create your own union. You will benefit. Israeli education will eventually
benefit, and your students will benefit. Don't undervalue yourselves. Don't think money is a dirty word, when connected to teaching. There is absolutely no reason why teachers should not have a decent standard of living. There is absolutely no reason why teachers start looking progressively more haggard, as the school year advances, culminating in a staff room of pale, exhausted human beings populating the staff rooms of the nation.

Sandra you are dead right. That's why maybe we need a separate union for English teachers to protect our interests. The other subjects (with the possible exception of Math which is more objective- no essays to mark, no LD concessions except time) All these considerations put a burden on our time and energy.This was suggested on Etni and I think we should seriously think about it...
