[etni] 3 points or 4 points?

In our school, as in most schools, most of the students do either the 4
point or 5 point Bagrut in English. The exception is the "kita ktana" -
the special ed students who are unable to do a 4 point bagrut (obviously
whoever is able to is mainstreamed into the other classes for English).
Our rationale has always been that with a 3 point bagrut at least the
girls will have a valid Bagrut certificate, so it's better than nothing.
Today I had a long conversation with the mother of one of our special ed
students, who is in the 3 point program. This mother (who also teaches in
HS, not English) claims that we are doing a serious disservice to the
students by allowing them to be 3 pointers. According to what she was
told, graduates with 3 points in English cannot be accepted to ANY
institution of higher learning, and that it's better for them to fail 4
points than to do well on 3.
Does anyone know if this is true? If so, what is the definition of a
failing grade in 4 point English that would allow a student to have English
written on his Bagrut certificate? 50? 40? 10? 0?
In other words, is it better to get 0 in 4 points than 100 in 3 points (as
far as options after HS are concerned)?
I must say that some of these girls are unable to pass Module A (even with
Baal Peh), so I can't imagine trying to do literature or even C with them.
Any answers, based on knowledge and not assumptions, would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA,
Leah
