Maxine, you seem to have forgotten that in both E and G, 30% of
the school grade has to be what we call at our school "something else."
that is, the project and the extensive reading. we use the project grade
as 30% of the E school grade, and the average of the 5 book reports for G.
(school grade is what is popularly called the magen grade.)
