1.	I woud like to make a suggestion regarding graduations' competitive projects where awards are given. Graduations are meant to celebrate the accomplishments of the seniors and the school as a whole. At these events we must be careful not to focus who is above and beyond the call of duty. What's wrong with celebrating every students' accomplishments? It seems that the most healthy Torah competitions are when the students are competing against themselves.

2.	I would like to state two basic premises regarding the growing problem of bullying. In whatever way possible all schools should communicate to their students that school is a place that they should feel safe physically and emotionally. A method in which students feel comfortable communicating their worries and concerns should be implemented. Secondly if we are able to identify a student who bullies, we must handle it carefully. Why does this child bully? Is he angry about something? Is he a good student? Is his homelife one of shalom bayis? One thing is certain, this student displays negative behavior for a reason and it is our job along with the parents and other professionals to try and unravel this mystery.

3.	I would like to share some resource seforim that you might find helpful. In terms of Chumash there is a set of seforim that contain Rav Neventzhal's brilliant explanations. On Navi there is a remarkable set of seforim on Yehoshua, Shoftim and part of Shmuel Aleph entitled Parshiyos Bisifrei Hanivim. On Nach, a remarkable set of seforim entitled Hatorah Hatemimah can be very helpful for preparation. Regarding Jewish History, two wonderful books were recently published by Rabbi Berel Wein; Oral Law of Sinai covers the period of the Mishnah, Vision and Valor covers the period of the Gemara. Rav Schwab has a breathtaking sefer on Teffilah. Rabbi Gershon Zeffren Chinuch.org Forum Moderator

4.	Dear Rabbi Presberg, Teaching elementary school students Jewish History is so important. I feel that the teaching of this topic should start when they begin learning Navi. This is to avoid the common confusion regarding understanding the difference between the periods covered in Chumash and the periods covered in Nach. For example, when they start learning Navi that is a wonderful time to study the period of the Shoftim. In my years of teaching Historia I have found that the order of events is more important than remembering specific years. Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Klein, of Torah Umesorah Publications recently published Bimeshach Hadoros- The Flow of the Generations. This booklet contains a great overview of Jewish History. Also make use of the other wonderful Historia materials by Rabbi Haber published by Torah Umesorah Publications. Hatzlacha. Gershon Zeffren Chinuch.org Forum Moderator
