The problem is not that we have a school grade - the problem is that it is
not kept separate.
School grades show us a lot - how the student works, perseveres, improves,
invests effort, performs in class, etc.  The Bagrut shows the grade of a
particular test.

Averaging them together is like taking half and apple and half an orange,
and gluing them together to create an "average fruit".

A help to average the Bagrut can be a matkonet test.  That makes some
sense.  The overall school grade should be taken into consideration, as a
separate entity alongside the Bagrut, by college/univeristy acceptance
committees.  But then, of course, they will have to work a little harder.
How could we expect that?  What are they, teachers or something?
