ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT
he opening of the school
year on Sept. 1 told quite a
bit about Israeli society at
the midpoint of the 1990s.
Some things haven't changed;
as usual, the first day of school
was marred by a teachers' strike.
But unlike in past years, the
teachers didn't strike for higher
pay or more favorable working
conditions; they struck for better
protection against terror.
In a cost-cutting move, the Ed-
ucation Ministry had decided to
lay off the armed guards who
stand watch at the gates of junior
high and high schools, and let po-
lice handle the schools' security.
(The ministry kept elementary
school guards in place.)
The police department devised
a rapid-response plan calling for
patrol cars to cruise the schools'
vicinity, but this wasn't enough
for the teachers, or for the pupils'
parents. They argued that armed
guards were a deterrent against
terrorists; and that by the time
police got to the scene of an at-
tack, no matter how promptly,
the damage already would have
been done.
"We are not ready for Israeli
children to be used as guinea
pigs for the vicinity patrol sys-
tem," said Shai Lachman, chair-
man of the National Parents
Association.
The strike kept nearly all the
country's junior high and high
schools closed for the first day of
class. It ended after the second
day, however, as local govern-
ments agreed to pick up the tab
for armed guards.
Police patrolling the few
schools in session on opening day
came across one violent attack,
but it had nothing to do with ter-
ror. At the high school in the town
of Messubim, they arrested a
Jewish boy who had punched out
a Jewish girl.
In the last few years, Israelis
have realized that the country's
youth are not all the clean-cut,
shorts-and-sandals, outdoors
types of decades past. Juvenile
violence, often involving knives
and occasionally even guns, is
now a part of Israeli life. It does
not remotely approach the level
found in U.S. cities, but it may be
even worse than Israelis imag-
ine.
In a poll commissioned by the
teachers union, teachers said the
issue that concerned them most
on the job — ahead of salaries,
working conditions, overcrowd-
ed classes and even terror — was
violence on campus.
Pupil misbehavior of the non-
violent sort has long plagued the
school system. Teachers spend a
considerable portion of class time
just trying to maintain order. Stu-
dents make constant noise, and
class discussions frequently de-
generate into shouting matches,
with insults substituting for de-
bate.
"We have a serious problem
with discipline and manners,"
Education Minister Amnon
Rubenstein said. "We see this in
every encounter with [foreign] ed-
ucation systems. Our summer
camp counselors who come from
abroad complain about the near
total lack of discipline [among
pupils]. We hear the same re-
sponses when Israeli youth
groups go abroad."
In this respect, of course, Is-
raeli kids are no different from
their elders. So the school system
decided this year to teach good
behavior to Israelis while they're
Juvenile violence,

occasionally even
guns, is now a part
of Israeli life.
young. In a new program called
"Derech Eretz," elementary
school teachers are going to im-
press upon pupils the benefits of
listening, of speaking rather than
shouting, and of courtesy. (That's
if the teachers can make them-
selves heard above the din.)
With the start of the school
year, the troubles in Israeli
schools unfortunately obscured
the tremendous advances taking
place. "The education system, for
all its weaknesses, has never
been seized with such a passion
for self-improvement as it is now,"
wrote the daily Ha'aretz in an ed-
itorial.
In the last three years, the na-
tional education budget has gone
up by some 60 percent in real (af-
ter inflation) terms. A greater
percentage of high school stu-
dents are matriculating, test
scores are on a steady climb, and
there is a boom in construction of
new schools and classrooms, es-
