Project Michael is a program which is supposed to promote excellence.
Students reputed to have good potential, with no discipline problems, are
invited into this boot camp. A single absence or tardiness can get you
kicked out. Most of what they learn is test preparation and test-taking
strategies, and the main proof of their ensuing outstanding excellence is -
you guessed it - good Bagrut grades.
English is not an important part of the program. Most of it is made up of
vocabulary retention strategies good for dictations - and some grammar.
The story about 16 tenses sounds mosre like the Semadar method, which
faintly resembles the verb conjugations we used to do in high school foreign
language classes.
Should your kids spend money on it? Hard to say.
