Who can answer the following riddles?

Language Approach' for learning Hebrew in the grade schools, some 15 years
ago? (Saffa Ke Mich loll)
Which leading Israeli politician is her father?
What was the attitude towards primary school teachers who warned that
this approach was doomed to fail and had already proved unsuccessful in the
