Subject: Re: writing letters about the new LD "2 tapes" problem

A school psychologist can NOT approve an oral test.  The pupil needs 2 
different kinds of "ivchunim" (psychological and didactic) and then these 
are sent in along with the English teacher's opinion ( a form letter) and 
the student's writing to a committee ( sorry - forget the name) at the 
Ministry and then maybe the oral exam is approved and maybe not..  And a 
pupil who was given the use of two tapes doesn't necessarily need an oral 
exam.. ( maybe instead of recording s/he only needs to have spellling 
ignored ) One reason for an oral exam is that the pupil can't sit still for 
long, and there are other factors.. too.. So it's actually quite complicated 
and takes a good few months  and there is of course a deadline and can't be 
gotten whenever you feel like it... NOT to mention the person who will 
eventually test this child must be approved by the inspector and has to be a 
qualifed English teacher.. ( BA., have taught bagrut.. etc..) . The more 
pupils with this hatama.., the more teachers you need ...
