From: "Michele Ben" <mggben@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: CDsObviously I can't help you with this particular problem, however, the kids can use their own headphones plugged into a regular tape recorder plugged into the electrical socket or on batteries instead of a walkman. This is a bit cumbersome but it does the job.

We have just seen that a list of schools that will receive discs in the bagrut has appeared on the "anglit site". http://www.anglit.net/main/docs/december06/listeningcdwinter2007.doc At Ma'ayan High school we have written a number of times to request CDs for the bagrut, and since September we have been working with CDs ONLY. We have converted ALL our bagrut tapes to MP3 files, and basically we have moved into the 21st century!! Today, out of the blue, a list of "selected" schools suddenly appears on the English site. We are appalled at the lack of support from those who decided to make a "selection"! What was the criteria? Who decided who gets what? Now what are we supposed to do with all those LD students who don't have walkmen and will (rightly so) not buy one. To be perfectly honest, we are LIVID at the way decisions are made without even giving any reasons! We wonder if Riki Zakan, from the testing department, has any idea what is going on in schools. We guess she doesn't! We don't understand why the testing department is not more supportive to the teachers in the field. Awaiting anxiously for you to come up with a solution to this problem, because, to be perfectly honest, we don't have one. Maayan High School, Kibbutz Ein Hahoresh
