when the teacher has to walk with a heavy bag and arrive in time for the first bell • Lack of parking spaces near schools
When you talk to teachers, you find that one of the issues that angers them the most is the lack of parking near the school. The problem for the teachers is complex, since they cannot come to school when it is convenient for them, the bell requires them to arrive on time, without any flexibility in the matter, so the need for a parking space near the school is almost necessary.
The plight of parking around the schools in Haifa has greatly increased in recent years, as today almost all teachers come to school by car (except for the lucky ones who live within walking distance), and the situation that has arisen is that the number of parking spaces is not enough for everyone.
It is not a great pleasure to start walking for fifteen minutes or more in the morning, with a heavy bag, sometimes even before the first coffee. We will take into account that young nannies often arrive on the working day after having dispersed their private children in kindergartens and schools, so that they cannot arrive earlier, even if they wanted to. The result is that many of them will not have parking near their place of work, and they will find themselves walking distances from where they parked to class, all under pressure, so as not to be late.
Leo Buck Middle School, 71 Tscheranhovsky Street
Undoubtedly, one of the schools where the teachers encounter significant difficulty in finding parking these days, are the teachers of the Leo Buck school, at 71 Tschernihovski Street in the Carmel French neighborhood.
In recent years Tschernihovski Street has been turbulent due to a lack of parking spaces which has worsened, among other things, due to the surge in the number of students at Gordon College located at 73 Tschernihovski Street.
Along with the teachers who have nowhere to park, the residents of the street have also fought over the years for their right to park near the house, and indeed, many of the parking spaces on the street have been painted blue and white and the residents have received car stickers that allow them to park there. The lecturers at Gordon have a parking lot at the college, but the students who arrive in their private vehicles take up many parking spaces.
Several years ago, the municipality painted blue and white the few remaining parking spaces adjacent to Leo Buck, the teachers at the school did not agree to accept the evil of the decree, applied pressure, and the municipality folded and arrived at the scene to repaint and return the parking spaces to the teachers.
Whoever enters the Lao Buck teachers' room at 7:10, 50 minutes before the first bell, will find a lot of teachers there. They just know that if they arrive at school just before the bell, they will have a morning walk of at least 15 minutes, from the car to school.
The new grade school
Many millions were invested in the Hogi school, which was moved from the center of Carmel - Yair Katz Street, to Hadar Alyon - Leon Blum Street, but they were not invested in parking spaces. The school has a few dozen parking spaces, a much smaller number than the number of teachers and management at the school. Moreover, 12th graders also sometimes come by car, and join the competition for parking spaces near the school. The teachers at the school who arrive and find a parking lot full of cars, can park further down Leon Blum Street or on Hana Sanesh Street and climb up to the school. Of course, it is more pleasant to get to school and class not after a strenuous walk, but there is not always a choice.
H. City School
The six-year urban high school consists of two parts - the lower and the upper. There is no parking at the bottom, and on the other hand, there is none at the top either. The middle school, which is located in the lower part of the school, is located on Hasif Street, where the number of parking spaces is limited. A teacher who cannot find parking can look for parking further down the street and hope for the best. The number of teachers teaching in the middle school is significantly lower than their number in the upper part of the school, where many dozens of teaching and administrative staff work, who compete for a very limited amount of parking spaces. The upper part is used by the high school classes of Urban God and is located on Bekurim Street, adjacent to the Maccabi pool , where there is a parking lot between the school and the pool, and still, the parking lot is far from enough for everyone. The earlier a teacher arrives, the closer she (or he) will be able to park to the school. Those who arrive late will find themselves camping not far from the center of Carmel and walking. When it comes to the steep rise of debutantes, getting back into the car seems even more worrisome…
City School C
The 3rd urban six-year school in Neve Shanan also consists of two parts: the main building and a side. The main building is on Pinsker Street. The teachers can park on the street itself or on nearby streets. The school has two entrances and you can also park near the lower entrance to the school. In Masada the number of teachers is significantly smaller than the number in the main building, so the parking problem there is comparatively less difficult.
City School A
The six-year urban school A is located in Kiryat Eliezer neighborhood. The plight of parking around the school is also due to the proximity to the Lin Clinic and its accident department. To find parking close to the school, you have to arrive early, those who can't or don't want to, will find themselves walking quite a distance until they get to the school.
The school in the new S.M.A.T
Until a few years ago, the school was located on Masada Bahadar street and there was almost no possibility of finding parking near it. As soon as the school moved to Neve David, next to Sara, good days came for the teachers and the administration. There are plenty of parking spaces near the school, and in light of the fact that it is a relatively small school, there are approximately 40 teachers in the city, who are not bothered by the parking problem.
The real school
The teachers at the Beit Biram real school on Abba Khushi Boulevard enjoy a huge parking lot where they can park their car. There is a parking lot at the Ahuza branch when you enter the school from Hativat Harel Street. From the upper entrance of the school on Kikar Safar street, it will be difficult to find a place to park. There is also parking for teachers at the Hadar branch. The problem is at the Reali Metos branch in the center of Carmel (on Derech Hayam Street), where finding parking in the mornings is definitely a challenge for teachers.
Alliance School
The six-year Alliance School is located in the Valley of the Sun. Those who arrive first can park in one of two parking lots, but those who arrive at the school after 8 o'clock will find themselves wandering inside Ramat Alon and walking from the car to the school for long minutes. The school is on a busy road, so a bridge connecting the two sidewalks is adjacent to it. One parking lot is adjacent to the school and the other requires crossing a bridge.
I have never seen a student sad because the teacher is late...
In conclusion, it is possible that teachers are a people who like to complain, even on the long vacation (some teachers are too long for them and after 3 weeks they are already climbing the walls, there are some who don't understand why they always have to fly at expensive prices and so on...). The plight of parking is also an issue that causes a lot of grumbling in teachers' rooms all over the city, but it should be said that the problem is not unique only to teachers, bank employees, hospitals, and municipal employees will not always find parking near the workplace. The difficulty that is unique to teachers is the bell, which requires them to stand in front of the students on time, when the car is already in the parking lot. Although I, personally, have yet to encounter students who cry because the teacher is late...
What's the matter with laying on Mount Sinai, or in simpler Hebrew, what's the matter with Tokh's and Lakdoh's?
This is the reporter's reply to my response from yesterday about her article. Draw your own conclusions!
"In the past there were no cars, and everyone got along.
Teachers, who drive their cars and need parking near the school, are no less good than the teachers of old.
In the past, there were quite a few teachers who said horrible things to students, and it was normative. Not everything is black today, not everything was so good once"
Greetings
Everywhere in Haifa there is a parking shortage
Including Bnei Zion Hospital, the situation there is truly catastrophic, I would be happy if Also do an article there about the parking plight of the employees and visitors
No. There is no convenient transportation.
It is not possible to arrive at eight in the morning because the fact that it doesn't matter what time I leave the house, even if I arrived early - there is no parking and I will be late.
Why do I have to pay out of pocket every day for parking?
We, the female teachers, deserve organized parking. I don't work with a computer but with souls. They deserve to receive us breathing, after coffee and also after pee if possible, thank you!
#Enough already
Correction: Mitel Lahabi not Mitel Zahavi.
We would be happy to hear which of the 31 members of the council takes on the portfolio of promoting public transportation in Haifa.
You will see that there is not even a council member / deputy mayor who will do it!!!
They run away from the subject like a fire. The most important issue in the city is completely promiscuous.
Who promotes another second Carmelite line in the ridge? Why not? What happened, there is no more vision for this city of public transportation?
They just talk to us about matrons that don't move and in Jerusalem they canceled the blue matron line because they saw how slow it is in Haifa
hello wake up We also want a metro to Kiryat and Acre. What happened, we are third class citizens again.
150 billion shekels for the metro in Gush Dan, 500 million shekels for two slow subway lines to Tirat Carmel and Acre. What happened??? Don't a million residents live in the metropolis here? Don't they pay taxes? Do not fight in the same combat units??
Why do we get promiles and crumbs??
There is a public transportation shortage, not a parking shortage.
If there is a school that doesn't have 4 buses an hour in the morning, you can't expect parents not to take students by private car and teachers not to come by private car. Therefore, the main problem in Haifa is the lack of a council member who will take it upon himself to manage the improvement of transportation
public in Haifa.
In Tel Aviv, Mittal Zahavi, the deputy mayor, does it. In Haifa, not a single deputy mayor thinks that promoting public transportation is important enough. Suggesting doing a show of hands at the next city council meeting, some council members came to Hasan Shukri with a bus or Carmelit which has a stop 250 meters from the city hall. And some came in their private cars. I'll spare you this show where they won't raise their hands because everyone arrived in their private car.
So that's exactly the problem, not a parking shortage. Plight of public transport that is not used. She is despised. who cut the lines and the frequency and the hours all the time and tell us that there is a revolution in public transportation and no one really believes that there is a revolution because those who can abandon the pleasure of waiting in the cold and the heat for a bus that does not know when it arrives because it starts its line at the Carmel Beach station, gets stuck in traffic on the way to the sea Or in Freud, and then it's late all the way because no one bothered to check whether long lines from distant central stations contribute to efficiency and arriving on time or harm it. It is clear that they are hurting it. Getting stuck in traffic jams on the Dori road do not arrive in time to Neve Shanan and people despair and take an expensive taxi and from there it is a short way to a private car.
So what do you expect the whole city to have a parking lot next to every school??
It will not happen.
The time has come to have a permanent representative in the city council who will deal with adding hourly lines and express bus routes.
If there isn't one, don't complain about parking, but about the fact that you can't use the bus... and maybe you don't want to, so it's already a problem that we will need to re-educate the public in Haifa - apropos of schools.
Suggest giving each teacher an apartment according to his needs and the size of his family near the school where he or she teaches. Will surely solve the parking problem and above all - we will all see the influx towards the teaching profession. Great Saturday.
In the city of C.
Parking shortage on Fisker and Gadalihu Streets near the upper and lower gates to the Carmel and Main Buildings.
Autos going on excursions are forced to park at Holmes Place
Far from the school and very inconvenient for students.
Unnecessary article. Let them arrive in a hurry. What's the story?
Well, this is indeed a problem, but say thank you to Yona Yahav for not taking care of it about the parking in the center of Carmel, there is nothing to talk about at all
But also write encouraging things sometimes, for example in Hadar Alyion, they are finally renovating the roads and streets that have not been renovated, apparently the state, and here it is, finally in the time of Kalish, it is very happy that someone also remembers the residents of Hadar. That would be great
This article is outrageous for many reasons and a large part of them is the unequivocal statement that "what to do for teachers who have a "heavy bag" or "ring to get to it at a certain time". As if other employees don't have bags, there are no hours in the shifts to get to them.
Public transportation to schools should serve teachers and students. It is not possible for dozens of teachers to clog up entire streets every day. No teachers, no doctors, no lawyers, no dentists and no hotel workers. Everyone has to be on time for shifts, meetings, lectures, repairs.
Let's talk about the lack of personal example. About teachers who, instead of walking half a kilometer to school, take a car, move it 3 blocks and demand to park in parking lots within the same street, of course for free why not? Is there no limit to indulgence? There are bus routes to all the schools. often enough. And it is also possible to move apartment and neighborhood to live close to the school where you teach.
The indulgence of the residents of Haifa destroys the quality of life of the city's residents. In all the neighborhoods there are no traffic jams during the summer months when schools are not active. It is clear to all of us that most of the traffic jams are caused by the excessive indulgence of the teachers and the parents who demand to bring the student by car to the school entrance. It also contributes to the obesity epidemic, children do not walk. Teachers don't walk. I see teachers who are physically exhausted from going up and down a flight of stairs at school. Zero sports. Zero personal example. They demand that their fat car with the scary jeep be parked in front of the schools, while disturbing the students on the sidewalks and crossing the roads... why because they "deserve it".
Michal, there is a limit to these indulgent articles.
Schools should stop participating in fuel for teachers.
The municipality, if it is responsible, should cancel free parking spots markings on streets with schools. And if it is possible to cancel blue and white as well.
At the expense of parking spaces, make wide and safe sidewalks, shaded by trees, with convenient crosswalks and slow down traffic.
I would be happy if the topic of encouraging walking became a central topic when educating all classes and as a requirement for teachers.
A teacher who walks around the school contributes both to personal safety and sets a personal example.
Contempt for this brazen and one-sided article and the clumsy messages it conveys as "obvious" demands...
I can't believe how far we've come: from the height of my age I remember my teachers and teachers Hillel 18, Golomb 4 and Hillel 47 - Hillel / Leo Buck High School. Did any of them dream of arriving in their own car (if they even had one)? They all arrived by public transport and nothing It happened to them. They arrived on time, fragrant and calm. True, times have changed (and not necessarily for the better), but to raise a voice because of the lack of parking spaces, come to your senses!
An insolent and outrageous article full of axioms of excessive indulgence and a negative personal example.
Kudos to you for this answer.
Only the teacher will cry if while she is late something happens to one of those students who are not sad about her being late...
Parking spaces will not be born, good public transportation must be provided
Have you tried to find parking near Rambam Blvd., Carmel, Bnei Zion?
No, because we arrive in Chabatz
Parking shortage also on the way to the sea, there are 2 schools for special education, another school where you study further education and also next to a hospital for soldiers 10, you arrive in the morning to park, there is no room even though there are 2 dirt lots there but they are blown up and you can't park on some days and hurry to get in to school and then decide to park on the dirt side of the road (doesn't interfere with traffic) and boom you get a report - what's the logic? Find us a quick solution please
Here is the solution:
Line 3
Line 5
Line 35
continue?
Most of the schools mentioned in the article are near regular and convenient public transportation stations. There is no need for a private car, especially students with a driver's license.
Where is the personal example?
The obesity epidemic begins with teachers who get out of a jeep instead of walking in the neighborhood as a personal example, to contribute to personal safety, to encourage students to walk. Teachers should consider moving and living near the schools - and in addition all the schools with available bus lines and those that don't have to reinforce the bus lines in the mornings.
