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, often involving knives and 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- .
