Subject: RE: Time extension
Dear Nira- How right you are! I complained last year to the Ministry when I
heard that the 5 pointers had been granted a 15 minute extension. I received
a reply that the matter had been "looked into" and it was decided that the
time presently allowed was sufficient. Once again, I stress that we in the
"boondocks" (Development Towns; moshavs; etc.), whose pupils CANNOT afford
private lessons as can most pupils in Givatayim; Ramat Gan; etc. suffer!
"Luckily" (I am being extremely sarcastic), our pupils at the Ulpana have
extensions in all their subjects because of the Kassam rockets as we are
"Azor Otef Azza."
Whoever said that there is more than "one Israel," unfortunately was right.
Our economic situation is booming I hear at conferences such as Herzelia.
Why don't some of those honchos get up to Kiryat Shmona or down to Ofakim to
see how many kids go without warm winter clothes and hot meals, not to
mention "chugim!"
I shall now descend from my soap box :)
