**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Hi Everyone, Though it's true that we don't get paid extra for work on the day of the bagrut exam or for marking "matkonot", we are also not docked pay for the many cancelled lessons when our students are off for the day because it's the day before another bagrut or they're taking a matkonet in another subject. I think it all evens out in the end. That is not to say that our miniscule hourly rate is reasonable, but I think we are paid for all of the hours we teach including the extra hours around bagrut time.

The amount of money paid to teachers who test orally is miniscule so that's not the reason we do it. Whether this is right or wrong I don't know. We also don't get paid for the extra hours we put in checking the mock exams late into the night or early in the morning so the kids get them back as soon as possible and so we can work out their magen. However , this is part of the job. That's what I know. I hope it helps. Aviva Shapiro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
