again - if teachers do not do what the MOE tells them to do, they are legally liable for the consequences. that is - if a kid fails the oral because he doesn't have a project, the parents can sue the teacher personally.and they might win. BUT- if the teacher was following instructions from their "irgun yatzig" (union) - that is, if the teacher was following sanctions of the irgun - even if the parents sue, the teacher will not be found at fault. (i checked this with a lawyer friend, besides being told this by nurit valencie from the irgun). many many teachers and schools are still against the program.
