**** 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. 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. ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
