**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Pupils requiring oral exams and/or tapes is a growing problem at our school also. I feel that neither the teachers unions nor the Ministry of Education are addressing this situation. Last year I taught a 12th grade 3 pt. class of 22 pupils. Ten out of the 22 had to be tested orally (not using tapes). I had to stay after regular hours and come in on my free days for almost a month to test them for the "matkonet". I "donated" more than 20 hours. On the other hand, the pupils are not to blame and if they have to be tested this way, we have no choice. I think that the teachers unions should negotiate for some financial reimbursement for all this extra work. This is a problem for teachers of many subjects.
