She's now a prof at Princeton U., teaching privileged kids physics. What a smart women she is (and a really nice person, too!).<br /><br />I find it interesting that they use the term "ri’ali."

And on a related note, are you aware that new olim get "hakalot" - certain benefits, such as more time to take the tests and extra points added to their scores? I'm not sure how one goes about getting these benefits, however. Maybe the school's yo'etzet (guidance counselor) would know?<br />(Hat tip to Jameel, who reminded me about hakalot.)Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-1211373513204728072009-06-04T21:50:19.015+03:002009-06-04T21:50:19.015+03:00Thanks for tutorial. . .

Nothing beats "on-seen"! The craziest part is that even our kids' Dovrei Anglit teachers call it an "unseen"...<br />:-)Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-74981954577199737912009-06-04T11:34:01.132+03:002009-06-04T11:34:01.132+03:00That's a lesson for me.
