Improving the Year in Israel

Two perspectives about the impact of the "dumbing down" (my term) of the Year in Israel, the increase of edutainment (less text skills, more entertaining lectures) in many programs.

The second essay is about the quality of education, arguing that the most serious and least serious students receive the proper experience. Those in between, though, are losing out.
