Subject: Students to strike over tight exam schedule (Ha'aretz)
Hi All,
This is not about the English Bagrut per se, but the Bagrut in
general. I heard further comments on Reshet Bet this morning about
students complaining about the date of the math exam and requesting it
be changed to give them more time between tests.
Sorry, but I don't agree with these kids. We had New york State
Regents exams scheduled day after day and managed fine. If you study
as you should all year, there should be no problem.
Thousands of students complaining that this year's matriculation exam
schedule is too intense plan to cut school on Thursday and demonstrate
at the Education Ministry's office in Tel Aviv.
The protest was initiated by four 11th-graders from Petah Tikva, who
say they face having to take four bagrut (matriculation ) exams -
geography, Bible, biology and history - in eight days. A Facebook page
they opened has already gotten 7,000 pledges to skip classes on
Thursday.
