hi mordechai, we always try to continue in the 11th grade, because obviously they have not finished studying english. but it usually doesn't work, because they have so many other matkonet and bagrut tests. re 12th - that does sound strange. there have been years when we had one more class after the bagrut, sort of an "end of english" final activity / party. but what can you teach them? most 12th graders barely come to school after pesach anyway. if your school can make them come to class, "kol hakavod"! of course the teachers still come to school for these hours, and proctor matkonot, sub etc. maybe that is what they meant? 2010/5/25 Ask_Etni <ask@xxxxxxxx> > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Motti - motti46@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Teaching English after the Bagrut > > Today our staff got a message from our principal notifying us that we are > expected to continue teaching English (and math) in the 11th and 12th > grades > until the end of the year.
