Dear Etniers:
The dispensation - ignoring spelling errors - is NOT a level three
dispensation - it is a level 1 dispensation. (see the following document...
http://www.anglit.net/main/bagrut/winter06/ldhozermancal06.rtf
BTW -The level 3 dispensations are oral testing and mituam. These can only
be given by the local LD committee upon the recommendation of the school and
cannot be given by the school itself. Although the very first chozer on the
subject suggested that ignoring spelling errors would be a level three
dispensation for 5 pointers, in the end it was NOT listed as a level three
dispensation. This might be the source of your yoetzet's mistake. (I refer
to Judy Givati's letter).
So, the school pedagogical council can decide to give a student "ignore
spelling errors" in English provided that it is recommended in the didactic
ivchun. (The ivchun recommendation must specifically mention "English" - if
it doesn't, the student can go back to whoever did the didactic testing and
ask that the tester relate to this point. This may or may not mean some
further testing - but the student would not need the full "Ivchum Rav
Techumi", which is required for level three dispensations. )
The input of the English teacher is also important!!!
I understand that there may be changes in the future regarding English, but
that is the way things stand today.
Yours,
Sharon Tzur
