[etni] misc. Re: bagrut etc

Subject: misc. Re: bagrut etc

My super weak 11th grade finally listened to my idea that they 
give the first 10 minutes of B to write their composition.  
I asked them what the topic was (they usually missunderstood the 
matkonot topics), and they got it right.  Who knows what they wrote,
but...
   
Yes, I gave them B this year and the project and the interviews, 
like I had suggested at last year's ETAI.  My experiences with A 
weren't good, so I figured that studying for C would raise the 
basic comprehension needed for the listening.  Then the A RC 
would be easy in comparisan and not demand anything more than 
getting familiar with the types of questions and text.
   
I spoke to a graduate who had come to be tested, and he told me 
that after trying some sample tests, they seemed much, much easier 
than the bagrut, pre-NBA.
   
I was with the LD C students, and the total test was only 45/100 
points, making every little mistake so expensive.  Using the tape 
is horrendous.  It adds to the general stress and wastes time.   
   
The C RC was enjoyable for me, and I loved the G one about thinking 
and hearing in color.  It explained a lot of things....
   
I'm glad I'm just a teacher and not the rakezet.  
   
I wonder if my students will ask me to help them prepare for Moed Bet; 
I wonder if they do need to try again.
