I am surprised that so little is being said about the sad issue
of the "magen grades" in English.
---snip---
This means that an "external student" has better chances of getting better
grades because he will be assessed only according to his performance on
the Bagrut Exam.
This means that any students with a grain of brain will understand that he
is better off without a "Ziun Shnati" Or "Ziun Magen" because by
definition these grades have to be lower than what he will get in the exams.

Not so fast. There are other factors at play.
You are talking of a hypothetical condition under which teachers can give the grades that their pupils have earned. No pressure is exerted on said teachers by the administration, and no personal consequences await those who dare give "un-doctored" grades.
Honestly: how many can boast being in that sort of situation?
