**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** To continue the question - can a pupil have ORAL TESTING for the essay only? A disgraphic, ADHD boy has oral testing for history, Hebrew literature and tanach.(Because of the long, essay-like answers.) He has no problem answering short questions (in English reading and listening comprehension - 5 points , in lashon, in science and math.) In these subjects he has extra time and ignoring spelling mistakes . I fear he will have a problem in part F of the English test - writing 2 essays. Could he do only the essays oraly? thanks - sara sara g in israel sarag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iris Elish" <granny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "etni" <etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2003 9:15 AM Subject: [etni] problem with dispensations > **** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** > > Shalom Judy and other English Teachers, > > A pupil who has the dispensation of הקראת תשובות לשאלון because of poor > handwriting, sometimes has a problem.
