 Subject: new bagrut- Grade 11 results
 From: "Janet" <janjon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
 
 Dear devoted English teachers of Grade 11,
 I'm wondering whether I should become a gardener and nurture flowers
instead? 
 Please could grade 11 teachers save my teaching soul and share their
students' results on the E.F.G  modules in the new bagrut- here on
etni.
 For the last 12 years my students { a mix of English speakers and very
able Israelis}have scored an average of 93-95% on the 5 point Bagrut -
This year - like everyone else - my students and I have worked harder
than ever to meet the required standards - AND!!?? 
 DISASTER! 
 These students who on ALL of the SAMPLE tests we received recently, got
over 90% and in ALL the practice papers - NEVER got less than 88% on
the F/G modules- received some grades in the E/F/G modules  in the 
60's and 70's! These were the intelligentand until now successful
English speakers! {there were also some good results - but this was
LESS common} 
 So - what will happen next year to the Israeli students in grade 12?
 I have received feedback that other schools in the area received
similar poor grades in grade 11. It would be very ironic if results
prove that11th grade English Speakers scored over 10% LESS than in
previous years.
sincerely frustrated - Janette Segal- Ranana
