Can't we just say 'well done!' and leave it there?

It's that week again; exam results for thousands of hard working students across the country. And again the results have improved. So what's the problem with all this doubt and suspicion? A week earlier Usain Bolt ran the fastest ever 100m to universal acclaim. Where were the doubting voices- track must be returning more energy, shoes more elastic, timing equipment more audible. . .

Nowhere to be heard. The media simply sat back and said Wow! So why can't we do that for our young people. For everyone who's worked hard and got the results they deserve take yourself on a virtual trip to the praise pod (unless you have a real one in your school) and big yourself up. And well done Mr. Bolt. Breathtaking stuff.
