IT’S OVER!!!!!! FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY

December 13, 2007 - 1:30 PM by

Israeli kids have been out of school for TWO MONTHS. Blimey. TWO ENTIRE MONTHS. It’s a crime.

FINALLY, this morning, the 1st day post Hannuka vacation, a deal was struck between teachers and the government.

Thank goodness. Poor kids.

Michael over at Six Kids and a Full Time Job outlines why this strike has claimed many casualties and sent a horrific message to the kids.

A sampling:

Israel’s youth have been irreparably harmed. They are the big losers here. I know that sounds harsh but these kids were given a message that their education could be sacrificed and that is hard to swallow. This year already has been lost. In addition, they have been distracted by the ills of cable TV and movies for the last 2 months rather than works of poetry, judaism and math. That is a bad tradeoff and a bad educational lesson served up by the teachers. 2 months is just too long.

Go over to Michael’s site to check out the rest.

Thank goodness it got resolved. Phew!
