One of my twelfth graders wants to know the following information. She's going to the take the 4-pt. Bagrut in June (old format), but wants to eventually do a 5-point exam for university purposes after graduation. She wants to know whether she will have to do a 5-point exam according to the old format, or she can do the F module (or whatever) according to the new format. A personal comment of my own. I' m staggered and infuriated by the number of questions regarding the new Bagrut format, assessment, curriculum, etc. In my opinion, it shows that if so many intelligent and dedicated teachers like us don't understand so much, something is rotten in the state of...well, not Denmark, anyway. Whoever has earned a pretty packet from cooking up this new stuff must be laughing all the way to the bank!

She also won't give up' her time' to do oral tests - insisting on being paid as a substitute teacher for these hours.School isn't interested in paying her(!) - especially as the rest of us are doing it anyway. Is there anywhere that says she has to do to this, or do the rest of the team have to work even harder than they already are? I really need the official sources for this (waving the rule book might help).

Even better, is there a translation into English for those of us who are Hebrew-impaired? At least if I have the name of the song (in English and Hebrew transliteration), I may be able to do a Web search myself. I don't want to send it on to friends without knowing what it is saying, though it seems really 'groovy'. Thanks in advance for any help that I receive.

I've been surfing and come up with little. Here's the thing: I'm trying to create a project for yud aleph/bet pupils in which they choose a piece of art and then do research on the artist and the art movements which influenced that particular piece. The artists are likely to be from this list: Vincent Van Gogh Pablo Picasso Claude Monet Salvador Dali Franz Marc Paul Gauguin Edward Munch Leonardo de Vinci Michelangelo Henri Matisse Keith Haring I would like to find a site or two which students could access, read and undestand for this research. It would need to be a site which is youth/learning orientated - not too complex in terms of ideas and not too difficult in terms of language. I imagine a student choosing a Dali picture and then finding information about Surrealism, Monet and impressionism etc. If someone knows of such a site, please point me to it.

What am I supposed to do? The other hardworking members of the team also have students who need oral tests so I can't ask them to do mine. Yesterday, we had the first 12th grade test and I have had to make appointments to meet with these students to test them. I don't have many windows in my schedule so it means that I have to do this in my free time without pay. Waving the rule book doesn't help because there are no rules as far as I can see. Every year I get more and more students who need to be tested orally and I am wondering how I am going to do it this year.
