In our school, we combine average to strong 4-pointers with average to strong 5-pointers (not enough students for more than one group). We actually do C in 10th (yes, also the strong 5-pointers, because there's no way I want to have the class divided in two from 10th grade and on), and D at the end of 11th. In the middle of 12th, the stronger students do E, and at the end of 12th, they do F and G. The weaker students do E only at the end of 12th. In other words, in 12th grade, we pretty much have the class divided into two groups when we work on Bagrut practice, etc., but they still do most things together. I'm not saying it's a perfect solution, but it's the best that we've worked out after years of trying different methods. All the best, Rivka P.S. Some teachers might criticize the fact that we spend so much time on the Bagrut - starting from 10th grade, but the truth is that we don't spend much time on it in 10th and 11th. Most exam preparation is done as homework, and we our main focus is on the coursebook, literature, project, etc. ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
