At the Annual Torah Umesorah Convention educators (mechancim) from around the country gathered to discuss the state of our yeshivas, to share professional tips, and to hear words of instruction and inspiration from the masters of the trade.
The rundown:
Number of times Kolko was mentioned: 0
Number of sessions or speechs about identifying and preventing child abuse: 0

Another brilliant suggestion from Rav Shteinman: Class trips are a waste of time.
