**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Elizabeth has expressed suspicion that the NS/NNS debate has been a deliberate distracter intended to push more important issues aside.=20 [as regards the debate being boring - may I humbly remind all the = parties involved that I have never seen a keyboard which would be missing a Del key...] As I was the founding father :-) of this whole thread about a month ago, = I can vouch for my lack of any intention whatsoever to steer the = proletariat away from class struggle ;-). Hence, I hereby declare the thread closed. Please refrain from = discussing this issue, at least in the nearest future. English teachers of all = shades and origins unite! Using this festive opportunity, I would like to remind that Nina Golomb = is still trying to defend our position in the argument about the Moed Aleph E-F-G modules; please support her, as she cannot (and should not) do it "single-handedly." Elizabeth is right: we have to be together in this.=20 Several listmembers (Daniel, lately, among others, if I am not mistaken) have expressed their regret over the fact there is no organization that would represent English teachers in a union-like manner. Taking into = account the unsatisfactory manner in which we are represented by the Irgun, I = have to say I would be glad to support the founding of such body. Any opinions?
