"After a series of conversations we came to renewed understandings. I hope that everyone who holds the school dear, and there are many of them, will learn to work with more communication and professionalism and together we will learn how to promote the school and the Bat Galim neighborhood."
As a reminder, on Monday this week, the director of the Anthroposophical School in Bat Galim, Itay Paz, announced his resignation to the municipality.
In addition, he intended to finish his job as the school principal immediately. In an email to parents, he stated how committed he is to the school and the students, but he feels he is unable to continue running the school because the municipality does not allow him to run the school as he wishes.
The Anthroposophical School in Bat Galim started operating last September, in the building of the Alia School. The transformation was evident even before the first day of school. From a school with a few tens of students, to a school where it is above
From - 100 students, some of whom even come every morning especially from the Kiryas and other neighborhoods in the city.
Conversations with parents of students at the school this week reveal that parents believe that it is Paz's special personality that swept students and parents after her and brought the school to where it is today. The parents argued that if the municipality allows Paz to resign, there will be no other manager who can reproduce the success.
Limor Katz: "I bring my children to school every day, because I see the joy of each of the students, when they enter school in the morning, and this does not happen in every school. Our children learn carpentry, circus, music and feel that they do not come here just for To learn a language and math but for something beyond, and that's thanks to Itai Paz."
Itai Paz sent an email to the parents to inform them that he decided to return and lead the school:
"I went through some of the hardest days I've ever gone through in my life, and I'm sure you too have gone through difficult times as a result of this and the accompanying lack of knowledge. I've never come to work so mobilized as I came to Aliyah School and I've never felt such a great sense of brokenness in the face of the trust that was broken at the beginning of this week. You, The children, the staff and also dear people in the Ministry of Education and the municipality tried, every day anew to show me the half full of the glass, the one for whom, it is worth getting up again, every morning and returning to make every effort, even if the past or present show me a much more complex reality.
I hope that I will be given the right to return and lead the school and that the municipality will be given the opportunity to fix the necessary professional communication system."
The municipality spokeswoman said in response: Because the municipality does not manage its relations with the school principals through
the media

Anthroposophical it is not. what yes It is not clear. No. Comments: 1. On the school's website the word anthroposophy does not appear. 2. On the website of the community of anthroposophists in Israel - "Alia" school does not appear. 3. There is much criticism against "Waldorf education", whose founder, Steiner, championed anthroposophy. Check online. 4. The school building is an old and depressing building and its location on a main traffic route (Rambam School and more) does not add health to the students and parents. The municipality has many resources in order to move the school to modern and new buildings, or build them. It is not enough to flower a brand slogan, in order to fill a school, which is doomed to be closed, with students.
