Michele, My comment is not a criticism of organizations like ETAI. It has just been in my experience, that these places and the types of meetings they have, with representatives of the Ministry present, are probably not the best place to speak candidly about our problems with the educational system- at least not at first. Am I wrong? I would love to hear what others say about it. P.S. I do see what is on the agenda even if I am not present. . Cheers!
