1. Don't trust Lapid. Like his late father,
Reuven   (08.26.12)
Lapid wants a non-Jewish Israel.
2. Value added
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.26.12)
Here in England we have a value added system as well as the usual performance tables for national exams at 11+, 16 and 18. Value added means how much better or worse a school does in each level compared to what could be reasonably predicted from its previous exam level. This is especially useful in following the progress of weaker pupils to see how much they are catching up.
3. Schools should have the right..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.26.12)
to expel bad elements and students that don t behave in a civilised manner. That s the only way to get a higher education standard in the schools.
4. Free Education
Carl ,   Lincoln, NZ   (08.26.12)
The Government should encourage her citizens to reach a common level of moral, social, and academic development, and raise all three levels as time goes on. For equal opportunity sake, education up to joining the workforce irrespective of kind of profession should be paid through the taxation system. Grading the development level of each student should be done on a national basis. All educational institutions should be private enterprises funded on the basis of number of students, level of knowledge transfer, and funds donated by student’s parents. For your information Google The World Monetary Order to Come.
5. He got one thing right
Alex   (08.26.12)
Increased salary to teachers and more funding to the educational system. Everything else is BS, and will worsen results.
6. Yair Lapid ever the smoke and mirrors opportunist
zionist forever   (08.26.12)
I wonder how long it will be before Lapid involves the haredi in his eduction plan? I am going to force haredi schools to teach children all these things. The secular public will fall in love with. him for it .. everybody loves a man because anybody who hates a haredi has the love of the secular elite. Lapid is going to promise the world, he is going to spend, on schools, on hospitals, on the military, he is going to cut taxes, rob from the rich and give to the poor just generally become the man thats going to get Daphne Leef out with her megaphone saying social justice demands Yair Lapid as the next PM. He will of course neglect to mention where the money is coming from for all his big spending plans, will he borrow heavily or once in office will he tell everybody I wish I could have given you all those things but sorry no money in the bank. Yair Lapid is all smoke and mirrors and he doesn't give a damn about the public all that matters is his political career which is why he formed his own party rather than joining mainstream one and not a word that comes out his mouth should be trusted.
7. School integration creates an integrated, civil, society
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.26.12)
There are only 5 integrated schools in Israel.
8. paying teachers more means...
Golan ,   modiin   (08.27.12)
worthless teachers getting more expensive. if you really care about teaching kids you'll have to make learning fun... and that does not cost more money, you can even do it with less.
9. # 6
Philip . ,   Afula Israel   (08.27.12)
Well said.
10. # 3
Joseph ,   Jerusalem , Israel   (08.27.12)
Agree with you ,but this would involve expelling about 40% of the pupils.
11. 10 Joseph We need special schools...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.27.12)
for these kids,where they learn how to behave and stay until they fit into normal schools .
12. 11 a normal school?
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (08.28.12)
What is a normal school?
