Aviva,
Just for the record, schools, or rather teachers, want their students to
finish the Bagrut in the winter because the kids are basically not around in
the second semester (too busy with their future lives, I suppose.) Last
year, we did the Bagrut in the winter and I felt the the intensive learning
was wonderful. the marks were better, primarily for the 4-pointers. This
year, however, is a challenge.
