I. READING (5 points)

STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

Different students like or dislike different subjects. However, there is one thing in common for all of
them: the role of the teacher in these ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’. It is very hard for a student to succeed in learning
a subject if he or she does not like the person who teaches it.

To be sure, that students are going to like a teacher the school wants to
hire, the principal of one high school decided to try a new way of choosing
teachers. In order to be accepted, the candidate has to be interviewed twice –
first by the principal and then by the students’ committee.

Gabi Levy explains the reason for this double interview: “We, the
students, want to know what kind of person our future teacher is because he or
she will teach us and not the principal.” Another student adds: “It is great that our school allows us to make
important decisions and influence our school life.”

The principal, Ronen Dan, agrees with his students: “The students want to know whether the
candidate answers their criteria, and the administration has its own requirements. We discuss the results of
each interview together and decide who can be accepted. I hope that now there will be fewer conflicts and
more understanding between students and teachers in our school. This experiment teaches kids to take
responsibility for their choice. If they approve of a teacher, they can’t complain that his or her requirements
are unfair.”
