although i dislike grading (especially writing), i have been toying with the idea of grading bagrut exams for quite a while now. everyone says how much can be learned from them, how much money can be made from them, but all agree that you work like a dog. so, meanwhile, i;ve held off doing it. which is unfortunate, because i think that there are many others like me and i do agree that there is much to be learned. so again, we have the same situation - a group of "crazies" do the work, are pressured to continue doing the work under terrible conditions, no new blood is coming in and everyone loses. sound familiar? -- Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much!!
