There are so many reasons why it is more difficult to write a doctorate in Israel than it is elsewhere.  The difficulty of obtaining resources, the fact that faculty are unpaid for these activities, that students are usually simultaneously fully employed,  and that expert evaluators are sometimes influenced by national politics as well as international social differences.  That’s why I’m always particularly pleased when my students make it through.  Especially when they are dedicated to contributing to peace and health.

it seems to me the most productive effort one can make in education, to train a generation of teachers who will educate teachers.
