----- Original Message ----- From: batshi7@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: student's placement in the different classes and levels As a result of parent's involvement and interference in our decisions, we are facing challenges in regards to student's placement in the different classes and levels. We would like to hear what is going on in different schools. Please respond to the following issues (JHS and SHS): - How and when do you decide regarding student's placement for the Bagrut levels? - What is your optimal grade for each level? - What happens when students and/or parents (and private tutors) are not satisfied with the schools decisions? - Do you have special exams prior to such changes? What kind of test/requirements/grades for transferring the student? How often do you conduct these exams? The official guidelines from the ministry of education (CHOZER MANCAL) are vague and open to interpretation. We would like to hear your opinion, and how you deal with the situation. Please get back with us.
