**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Good day to all! i am still feeling rather disappointed about yesterdays's exam. I think that the pencil story was an awfully boring topic for 18 year olds. In addition, after reading paragraph 1, my heart sank because I knew a whole bunch of kids all around the country would experience an instant drop in confidence right at the beginning of the exam. In my opinion, this exam was a level more difficult than previous ones. It reminds me of the exam a few years back(Delivering Goods) when pupils came out crying. This year my pupils said things like, "This whole country is ...bleep... up!" It is a pity when the mood is so low and things are chaotic in our country, that there isn't more stability in the level of their exams. Everything always catches them and us, by surprise.
