In order to try and change over from tapes to ,,,,, at least CDs every school (the principal) MUST send a letter to Rachela Shiffer. who is head of the testing dept... I had my school send a letter and I strongly urge every English coordinator demand that their principal send a letter (in HEBREW) explaining that we have a really hard time (almost impossible ) finding walkmans etc.. .. !! Maybe we can make this change !!! It doesn't take too long to do and if she gets a lot of letters she might just begin to understand that tapes are long gone !!!
