----- Original Message ----- From: Ora Baumgarten - orabaumgarten@xxxxxxxxx Subject: re: Philosophical questions about the "NEW" Bagrut exam Ruth, you've expressed so much of what many of us think. Among the things we want are: 1. the literature put back into the written bagrut exam 2. the bagrut exam to test what we have taught 3. the ministry to accept the fact that there will be discrepancies between our yearly grades and the bagrut grades as long as we're putting project work, book reports and literature into the yearly grades. However, one of the things I actually like about the NBA, is the project aspect. Many of us use technology, e-teaching, and international collaboration in our projects, and nobody has ever stopped us from being doing so. On the contrary!
