Although I teach high school and am not involved in the Meitzav, I've been
following with interest the commentary about the recent exams, especially the
remarks made about the difficult 5th grade test. And then yesterday I was
approachd by the parent of a 5th grader who told me the school had suggested to
her that she keep her daughter home the day of the Meitzav. The child is not up
to level and has certain learning disabilities. Seems the school didn't want to
bring down the level of the collective results. The parent has filed a
complaint with the ministry about singling out her daughter and making her feel
that she "doesn't belong". The same parent reported that the teachers "helped"
some of the kids through the English and math exams. This is based on her
daughter's report back home as the parent did send her child to school that day
and insisted on hre being like everyone else!
Needless to say, I was quite shocked hearing about all this. Is this common
practice?
