No need to publicise distinctions – all students achieved remarkably

I want to thank Andrew Baker of King David Victory Park for not putting the number of distinctions next to each successful student’s name; and the same goes to Marc Falconer of Herzlia; Rob Long of Yeshiva; and Rebecca Sarchi and Rabbi Motti Hadar of Torah Academy.

All the students achieved – there were no failures. It’s a remarkable success story, but I have no doubt that those who gained only one or two distinctions won’t be as happy to be up there in the spotlight.

Our schools and educators are excellent, and the student results are excellent. Their names and photos should be enough and give sufficient naches to parents and grandparents.

Sometimes we take steps that aren’t always in the best interests of our children (my children are adults, so I gain nothing from speaking my voice.)
