Listening skills

Good evening!!
I have a topic I want you to think.Please give me your opinion.

I teach English to junior high school students as a cram school teacher.
Today I had a meeting about this years' curriculum,and we discussed about steps of listening test.Our boss told us like this.

"We don't have to take steps to cope with it.Because if we take steps or do not,students' score doesn't become better than now.Instead of it,it is more effective to make students practice writing and reading."

I didn't agree with our supervisor.What do you think about it?
Let's discuss about it in our class.

See you next lesson!
