Was the Teachers Strike a Success?

The Irgun Morim teachers strike is finally over.

Now, was it worth it? What was accomplished?

So far, it seems like Ran Erez got lots of headlines, but did he get anything more than some vague promises?

What happened to our "missing hours?" We used to get five hours of English per class,and now we get four at most. There's no way to fit in all the requirements.

The government is happy. But that can only make me nervous.

According to this poll, the public doesn't think that anyone won this time.
