Amazing! Astonishing! Incredible!

Excuse me, what do you find so incredible?

This was discussed widely on state media:

ממחקר חדש של מוסד שורש עולה כי תלמידים בישראל לומדים משמעותית יותר שעות מהממוצע ב־ OECD, אך הישגיהם נמוכים יותר.

Why does that amaze you? Surely you expect the government to provide deficient outcomes?

I’m not a “statolater“. And we have noted Israeli government education effects. What surprises me is the reports themselves.

*I do doubt the extreme percentage, however.
