Subject: re: An etni poll I'd like to see
The fact is it's useless to vote on any of these polls. We have already voted on a poll where 66% voted for cancelling the "Magen grade" , and obviously that "ain't gonna happen"any time soon. We also voted 37% that the NBA is not a good system and 33% that" it is better than the old but still has many flaws however well it is implemented" so what would be the point of having another such poll when it is clear that the "powers that be" don't care what we teachers in the field feel about any of these issues. It has been voiced time and time again on Etni and at Etai conferences that there is an enormous amount of dissatisfaction and bewilderment with the NBA but no concrete answers as to why there is such a discrepancy between our class grades and the bagrut grades,or indeed between one "Moed" and the next at the same level....

I'd choose option b mainly because 70 % attendance takes off 5-10 points and 
so would no quizzes and no portfolios. We mustn't forget that we are here to
educate and not only teach English and if we "forgive" the pupil we actually
teach him that's it's not such a"mishap" not to comply with the rules.
