Shalom Judy and other English Teachers,
A pupil who has the dispensation of הקראת תשובות לשאלון because of poor
handwriting, sometimes has a problem. Many of these pupils can do the
reading and listening comprehension parts of the text without having to
record their answers. Their main problem is when they have to write
something a little longer such as the writing task. Then they need the
dispensation of recording their work. However, their official stickers
(specifying their dispensations) stuck on their bagrut papers, do not
include ignoring spelling mistakes. When their bagrut exams are being
corrected, they are penalized for their spelling errors in the reading and
listening parts, which haven't been recorded.
So wouldn't it be wise to have ignoring spelling mistakes included in
הקראת תשובות לשאלון Could we not allow those pupils whose writing is okay
in the reading part or for short answers, enjoy the dispensation of
recording their answers only for the written task but at the same time
allowing for ignoring spelling mistakes in their written not recorded
answers?
Have any other teachers out there experienced the same problem?
All the best,
Iris Elish.
