----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel - ydaleph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: History in English? History and civics in English? Another brilliant suggestion. If we actually followed the benchmarks set out by the ministry of education instead of concentrating on rubrics and NBA requirements from grade 10 we might actually raise the level of English even more successfully. Imagine that, no more 3 point students only 4 and 5 point! Imagine all the students working towards proficiency rather than an artificial bagrut grade which does not reflect their ability to communicate in the target language!
