Hi all,
I've been following the back and forth regarding the projects or lack
thereof during an oral exam.
I decided to ask a lawyer friend of mine what the law would say regarding
such a circumstance. He said that when a tester shows up at a school to
test, they are actually representatives of
the MOE working under "Ktav Minuie". This makes MOE their boss at that given
point in time even though they may not work directly for the ministry the
rest of the year.
What the tester should do when presented with such a situation is call
his/her inspector and receive specific instructions. This is what I will do
regardless of the union I belong to.
Even better, I will call the coordinator of the school where I'm testing
beforehand and ask if there are students without projects and then get
instructions before I arrive.
I certainly understand Nina and others and this is a very difficult
situation to deal with but I feel that we simply don't have the option of
doing whatever we want as testers.
This situation puts another nail in the coffin of English teaching. As I
have said before we will see more and more teachers leaving the profession.
Many will say; after all
the work, the sanctions, the HOTS, the problems with the projects, the joke
salary, who needs it? Goodbye. Then, when the MOE sees that there is a
distinct lack of
qualified English teachers and something must be done, then serious change
will happen. Until then we will continue to voice our displeasure and hope
for the best.
Shabbat Shalom.
