Subject: Winter Bagrut
Sandy asked why we try not to have students take the winter Bagrut. By us
it's simply a matter of TOO MUCH already. Our students currently do modules
at the end of 10th, 11th, and 12th grade, so they have plenty of time to
make up whatever they want to redo, etc. Having yet another moed with
tziyunim shnatiim, vacation before the test, setting everything up, etc. is
just too much and really unnecessary in most cases. However, this may change
as I am quite unhappy with students starting Bagrut in 10th, and would like
to push the starting date off to the summer of 11th, which would make the
winter of 12th more critical. Of course, according to the latest reports
from the Ministry, it's very likely that in a year or two there won't be any
more modules and all students will have to take their Bagrut in 12th, which
is another way to solve the whole problem...
All the best, Rivka
