My daughter will do the BAC in July and I this thet MOC test is important to be well prepared to the oral exam

The possibility of mock exams is a great asset for my children to prepare a succesful BAC.

(Brussels, 2018-01-18)

My daughter will take her Bac in 18 months and a rehearsal seems essential

(Brussels, 2018-01-18)

Because I don't think it is fair on the students that the first time they do an oral exam is at the Bac - I think they should do at least one oral combo a year in L1 and 1 other subject from s5 and up.

I am signing because I'm the mother of a student and support their requests

(Brussels, 2018-01-18)

#817

Why should we take away a right to study and prepare for the bac?

(Luxemburg, 2018-01-18)

The "practise oral exams" was the ONLY way to practis a bit oral exams.
It was the minimum to offer to our students in 7 years!!

Ì am the parent of one of the students concerned Costanza Nervi.

I believe these mock exams can ONLY be helpful to our graduating students. I find it totally UNFAIR that something this vital is striked down without consulting the parents and informing them BEFORE enacting it.

(Brussels, 2018-01-18)

#830

I'm signing because it's a right we students should have as by doing oral exams we mature as persons and lose the fear of talking to people. We gain confidence for the future

(Varese, 2018-01-18)

I find the practise of oral exams very helpful for students.

(Brussels, 2018-01-18)

#839

My current 19 year old who left the European School at Laeken last academic year found the mock orals very useful and I wouldn't like to think other children now going through this same process won't get the same assistance.

Mock Orals are a very useful way for our 7 Year children to prepare themselves to BAC Oral examinations; we have to consider that EEB students are not very used to oral examinations. We ask to reverse another decision of the secretariat general, counterproductive for the students and taken without consulting parents and professors.

(Bruxelles, 2018-01-19)

#845

Experience shows that mock exams were an important step in preparations for BAC Oral examinations.

(brussels, 2018-01-19)

#855

I didn’t have this option. It would have been fantastic and helpful. I would like my children to have this possibility.

(Bruxelles, 2018-01-19)

#857

pupils have no practice in oral exams until at the very BAC, this is totally unfair and the mock exams have to be maintained!

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#860

Mock Orals are a very useful way for 7 Year children to prepare themselves to BAC Oral examinations and it would really be a pity to miss out on this opportunity

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#865

We have two children in the European School in Uccle, currently in S2 and S4. We very much support that the 'mock' oral exams are maintained. Can see no viable argument for abolishing them.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#870

my child will eventually take the finals and that might turn out useful

(Luxembourg, 2018-01-19)

#876

these tests should be kept

(Everberg, 2018-01-19)

#880

Support for practising for the oral exams must be continued.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#882

I have two older children who already have graduated from the European School and I know how important it is that the children get to practice being at an oral exam.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#883

I think it's an important occasion for students to practice, and if it has been done in the past, it's unfair to take it away now.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#886

MOCK is crucial for S7 students.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#888

Mock orals are necessary to perform with confidence at the final exam

(Bruxelles, 2018-01-19)

#901

Mock Orals are an important way for our 7 Year children to prepare themselves to BAC Oral examinations. Asthere are only written tests earlier on they will have no practise if the mock orals dissapear.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#906

Because it is important to maintain the few measures already in place that support the students

(Hoeilaart, 2018-01-19)

#914

It is of utmost importance that the student get all support possible for the preparation of their BAC exams. They are put under heavy pressure and workload and they need reassurance in their capacities. They should be given the chance to practice withe their teachers. Besides, if this exercise was made available in previous years and proved useful, why the students of 2018 promotion should be differently treated. S.Nikolova

I’m signing as my son is in the 7th grade. I do not understand why the school is depriving the students of this opportunity.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#918

Very important aid for students preparing for BAC

(La Hulpe, 2018-01-19)

#923

In my opinion, the right to practice an oral exam before passing it should be allowed for everyone. Revoking this right means that all previous BAC earners got it easily, making it unfair.

(Bruxelles, 2018-01-19)

#926

Let's give our kids a fair chance! For most of them, it will be the first time to have an oral exam.

(Brussels, 2018-01-19)

#933

My daughter is going into year 4 in September and I would like to know that she will be prepared for the orals to maximise her grades

(Blumenthal, 2018-01-20)

#934

It’s too late to change an important rule like this just a few months before the bac when teschers already have made their teachin plans for the whole school year.

(Mamer, 2018-01-20)

#937

Mock orals represent a valuable stress reducing exercise and an opportunity for feedback from a friendly mentor.

(Brussels, 2018-01-20)

#938

I am sure that the preparation for the actual BAC oral exam ( mock exams) is essential and vital for students that take the exam in L2. It is absolutely unacceptable to take this opportunity away from our children.

(Bruxelles, 2018-01-20)

#939

Mock exams give students the possibility to better prepare their final exams. They constitute a rehearsal extremely useful for being able to properly express their knowledge.

(Uccle, 2018-01-20)

#947

I'm strongly against this initiative to abolish Mock Orals of 7 year students.

(Brussels, 2018-01-20)

#953

I would like practice orals before the actual baccalaureate. It is a skill that needs to be learned, and teaching us such skills is one of the purposes of school.

(Waterloo, 2018-01-21)

#954

I'm signing this petition because I am a student of a European school and I really think that the practice oral exams are hugely benificial and it helps students do the best they possibly can in their real oral

(Oxford, 2018-01-21)

#963

It is important to our students that they get this opportunity to practice

(Genval, 2018-01-22)

#965

Rehearsing before the actual exam is a good practice which should be preserved.

(Brussels, 2018-01-22)

#966

I believe if students ask for extra work it is always because they feel it is necessary and genuinely helps them attain better results

(Brussels, 2018-01-22)

#968

I want to reverse the decision.

(Hostert, 2018-01-22)

#970

These are helpful and successful tools for the students.

(bertrange, 2018-01-22)

#971

I would like the mentioned decision to be revoked. It isxreally harmfull for the students.

(Alicante, 2018-01-22)

#973

It is necessary for the students

(Auderghem, 2018-01-22)

#975

I don't see why a well established and useful practice should be abolished.

(Rhode-Saint-Genèse, 2018-01-22)

#980

I am signing because I believe that the school needs to prepare studenst for oral BAC via mock exams - EE students do not have any other oral exams so this is the only chance.
I am mother of S6 student and expect the moc oral exam to be offered next year as well.

(Brussels, 2018-01-22)

#981

My two daughters may intend to study at University where it is compelling with oral exams

(Copenhagen, 2018-01-22)

#982

I agree

(Brussels, 2018-01-22)

#991

I think mock exams are extremely useful

(Brussels, 2018-01-23)

#994

Big thanks to the organizers for bringing this to our attention!

(Brüssel, 2018-01-23)

#996

I am signing this petition because I have two children in secondary and I think that this is a very useful preparation for the BAC. Moreover, I do not understand the reasons behind the abolition of it.

(Brussels, 2018-01-23)

#998

Mock oral exams prior to the BAC would give students the opportunity to prepare mentally and to know what can be expected for the BAC oral exams. This is very important, in particular for young people who are preparing for their first such experience.

(Brussels, 2018-01-23)

#999

I am signing because my son Ivan Curavic is in the S6DE class of EEB1 and I think that all students of his, the current and the following generations of bacheliers should have a good prepartion for the exams. They should be familiar with the situation so that they can focus on the replies
