<div dir="ltr">I fully agree. Having <b>whatever</b> percentage of distributed material requiring <b>whatever</b> percentage of students to spend hundreds (or even tens) of NIS on HW/SW in order to cooperate is <b>totally unacceptable</b> especially in light of no-cost alternatives (SW only of course. HW will still be needed).<br>

This renders the Word requirement - or even a computer requirement - even less reasonable, IMHO. Making 5% - or 1% - of families to buy a computer and/or specialized SW just to view a schedule is totally unacceptable on financial grounds only. <br clear="all">
