Is anybody listeNing?

Is it worth it to read the 'Listening ' Questions before hearing the text?  Of 
course!

Anyone who has been at the tail end of a police or Shabbak interrogation knows 
that you can learn what the other guys

know by the questions they asking you.


Try doing an LC with a class WITHOUT even listening:  Some of them are so 
poorly built that you can guess almost all the answers using the info gleaned 
from the questions.

By the way, I never tire of hearing nightmare stories about classes that were 
prepared for bagrut by a teacher who did not know the 

rules or the new requirements.  A whole school was sent to the New Bagr 2 years 
ago, but the pupils were prepared for the old one.

Testers showed up recently to test the Orals with cue cards and lit questions.  
A class of 'shmeeah mekallettet' was told they wouldn't have to do the 
listening comprehension. ( If you have access to an electronic dictionary, how 
can you be expected to 
do the listening when you can't see which words to look up.)  

I kid you not.

Of course, I once taught a whole Makzoor that English is written from right to 
left.
