----- Original Message ----- From: Rita Gvili - ritagvili@xxxxxxxxx Subject: comments on bagrut Usually I don't write to ETNI. I just read how people feel about issues. This time, however, after the winter bagrut, I felt I had to comment. For a long time, I have longed for the type of bagruts given in the 80's. This, however, is not to be. Still, after having read the modules given on bagrut - I must say I was quite, unpleasantly, surprised. I found the G to be exceptionally easy. The E - challenging for 4 point students and the C extremely difficult for the 3 point students. We are expected to follow guidelines and prepare students for bagrut - however, I feel the discrepancy between the bagruts and what is taught - is unfair. They are disproportionately either too difficult or too easy. Challenging is great - but when it comes to a 3-point student - I believe we have to be realistic and fair.
