And now they're increasing the paperwork for students with
accommodations. The latest edict is to make a separate file for each
such student. Ok if you have a few - but what about 20 students in a
class of 28 (and 10 in a class of 20). Then there's the hakraot (to be
read aloud) - where the teacher is expected to churn out burned discs.
Well, at least the school was kind enough to help with that.
