----- Original Message ----- From: laurie ornstein - laurenmadeline@xxxxxxxxx Subject: CDs - stand corrected Hi All, I stand corrected if I misunderstood. I'm glad that the MOE will send enough CDs for the Bagrut itself. I certainly hope so. But why then, all this talk about opening the envelopes and opening a recording studio? And as has been pointed out, how do we deal with testing LD pupils all year long without becoming recording technicians? Sorry, I still feel strongly that this is not part of my job description as an EFL teacher. We have almost an entire class, in my school, of LD pupils. This has got way out of hand. I know I speak here for the other teachers in my school, too. Right now, there are CDs available with many of the new textbooks. These include most of the reading passages.....not always more. This is helpful but certainly not enough. And getting the parents to purchase the CDs is another story! I shall remain "tuned in" for the next "track" !
