Subject: RE: F lit Exam in Jerusalem
We at Zvia school Herzlia also have chosen to do the exam. I sincerely hope
for the sake of literature and objective and reliable testing that the log
will soon be chopped. It is worth noting that all course papers and project
work for the equivalent of the Bagrut in England have been dropped and
replaced by exams. Why do we continue to fall behind in ideas that have long
since failed in education? - One thing though is thrilling to read- so many
teachers love teaching literature-Good Luck to us all! Janette Segal

I for one prefer to have less choice and be spared that kind of
pressure and meddling in our work from outside forces.
