NEW ENGLISH TEACHING PLAN IMPORTS /TRABBELS

Israel to Import English teachers Ynet News June 28, 2006 By Tamar Trabelsi-Hadad
As solution to decrease in number of teachers certified to teach English, Ministry of Education plans to encourage immigration of Jewish teachers from abroad … … … don’t bother reading the tiny print[B]:
The ministry plans to tempt teachers to immigrate to Israel by promising them work and benefits in the educational system. … … the ministry appealed to the Jewish Agency in order to create a joint plan to locate teachers in … … …. the United States.
According to Abuav, there are currently almost
250 English teachers that have a teacher's certificate, but are not certified to teach English. The shortage has been a problem for years and, thus, the ministry has been forced to compromise and let these
Here comes the funny part: [B]
In order to convince English teachers to immigrate or to convince English speakers to join the teachers corps, the Ministry of Education intends to subsidize the certification process, guarantee jobs, and provide financial incentives to teachers, including involvement with rent for those teaching in peripheral regions, where the shortage is most prevalent. These benefits constitute a 70 to 80 percent increase in the regular salary.

IN THE CAREFREE DAYS BEFORE THE WAR, WE SPOTTED THE FOLLOWING ITEM ON YNET: BUT WE LET IT GO BY; WE HAD OUR ETAI PRESENTATION TO PLAN, THOSE OF US WITH CHILDREN HAD TO ATTEND A THOUSAND END OF YEAR PARTIES, AND, WITH THE SCENT OF SUMMER VACATION SWELLING OUR NASAL PASSAGES, WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WITH IT. (I CHANGED THE FONT AND OMITTED SOME LINES, BUT DID NOT CHANGE THE ARTICLE ONE WHIT.)
Now that the dust has settled and collected its compensation from Mas Rehoosh, I have a chance to respond to this article. At the time, there was a huge hue and cry from English teachers who took umbrage. Studies show that very few of those who took umbrage took home an extra 80% in their paycheck. Who, then is getting the extra cash increment? "It ain't me babe," (Bob Dylan, 1965). But I've noticed that when one of my colleagues goes to the facilities, she takes her own smooth toilet tissue in with her. And the facilities are in a stretch limo.
So the trick is to leave your job in a huff, go to hool (in a handbasket), and come back as a new immigrant in a Honda. Fortunately, Israel is appointing a new absorbtion minister, one with great absorbtion capability:
