Subject: "magen" grade


Hi Everyone,

This is an interesting subject and could be an interesting poll, too.

I'm not a big fan of these school grades for all the reasons mentioned so 
far. As I recall, in Yonkers, N.Y. we had no such animal! We did have an 
internal school grade and our Regents Exam grade but these were separate and 
did not affect each other in calculating a final grade. Why not do the same 
here?

This does, however, jilt the project and extensive reading from the Bagrut 
grade. There will soon be a literature module and that's "covered". 
Extensive reading, as in Hebrew , could be included in an exam...not exactly 
my cup of tea, I admit. The project? Alternatively, these could both remain 
compulsory but not be a part of the Bagrut grade itself.

And even if we all agree on the way to go, will anyone really listen to us?

Laurie
