Well-said Sharon, Rivka, Judith, Avlynne and others! And I repeat my claim made earlier: we need a reduction in the number of pieces studied, both in the log and in the exam, in order to restore the balance between the study of literature and language - and to restore our sanity. Just to add to the statistics that have been offered here by teachers of the log, the grades in my 5 point class followed a normal bell curve. The lowest grade was 37 and the highest (for a brilliant student who simply got 100s on practically everything) was 99.7, which got rounded to 100. It will be interesting to see how my 4 point class fares next year ...
