"Is it worth the 6% salary supplement?": Teachers reveal the great fear of annual trips

Following a school trip disaster in the north where a boy was killed and 24 were injured by an explosive device explosion, teachers and educators share the anxiety and heavy responsibility accompanying them on every trip. The question arises whether the compensation, sometimes a salary supplement of a few percent, justifies the risk and mental strain involved in the responsibility.

Following the severe disaster in the north, where a 14-year-old boy was killed and 24 were injured by an explosive device explosion during a school trip at Mitzpe Pa'ar, teachers and educators share the anxiety and heavy responsibility placed upon them. A former teacher described: "I wouldn't breathe from the moment we left for the trip until all the children returned home." Another teacher raised the need to verify whether the route was approved, as the school apparently hiked in an area that is not a route with signage warning of danger. On the other hand, it was claimed that the route was indeed approved. The discussion also touches on the question of compensation: whether a salary supplement of a few percent justifies the responsibility, mental strain, and long working hours involved in accompanying annual trips.
