I agree! The more specific, the less accurate. There are so many factors.
Personally, I can't stand the "magen" grades. Some (in some schools many)
students put more energy trying to "negotiate" higher grades than they do
in their studies. I've had students insist that their success is up to
me. "Ha kol talu'i bach, hamorah." Fifty-five passing is ridiculously low
as it is. I think it's pathetic that a kid would need the points from
classwork/teachers/magen to get there. Passing them when they know barely
50% of the material doesn't give them enough knowledge to do well with
harder material in English the following year. It may be ok in subjects
that are self-contained, never needed and erased from the brain after the test.
