Why Hate On Shalhevet?

At the end of last year, I made a brief video about Shalhevet.

I fear I may have underestimated the quality of the education there.

Here are the responses on YouTube to my video. They speak highly of the literacy and character development of Shalhevet’s students. I may have underestimated Jerry Friedman’s system.

I also got this email: "…I am a student at Shalhevet High School. I am contacting you because I have viewed your videos and would like to inquire as to whether you find your criticism beneficial, productive, or useful in any way at all."

I finally responded: "I just report a story the best I can… That’s all. I’m not here to "help.""

My video got five links from Shalhevet students’ facebook accounts.
