This is in response to Dina:"As I and my fellow teachers understand,
from this year, 10th graders are not required anymore  to keep all the
literature work till 12th grade. Each unit will be handed in
seperately.

Is that correct? Or should we tell the students to keep a folder with
six dividers just in case...?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In all honesty,"tachlis," I've no idea what the above means. What I
WILL say is this:

You can tell me that I am not teaching my pupils responsibility until
you are blue in the face.....but to ensure MY ability to sleep nights,
the moment we finish a unit of the Log, that unit's 'sakit' comes to
ME, is graded, returned to them to see my remarks and IMMEDIATELY
returned to me to go  into their loose leaf folder log. I do this for
MY sanity.

The early years of the HOTS program I dealt with multiple excuses
ranging from, "My Mom threw out the papers while Pesach cleaning," "I
lent it to such and so to copy something from when she was in the
hospital and she lost it," "My brother took it by mistake to his
Yeshiva Tichonit and can't find it." Hence, when absent my pupils are
responsible for making up work; I run after nobody. AND, when a unit
is completed it is immediately given to me for safekeeping.

I value my sanity more than teaching them responsibility at this stage
of the game. There are enough other opportunities to work on
responsibility (i.e. checking homework assignments; during work on our
projects,) that I don't feel the least bit guilty.

Good luck to everyone, and especially to those like myself who will be
entering classrooms of pupils who went through the war! May תשע"ה be a
much better year than the past one for us all!
