Success for Every Student was the motto of the London Board of
Education when "Whole Language" was de rigueur. I asked the students from Junior
Kindergarten to Grade 8 at one public school to write the motto without
any assistance. One of the the youngest students traced around her hand.
The work was bought by several corporations and presented to the retiring
Director.

It's hard to see but that's a hand in the first row of text. This student decided that success could be achieved through hand-work is the way I read this. And she is quite right -- our hands are emotional, intelligent aspects of ourselves.
A most striking commentary on this slogan from the Ministry of Education by those to whom the slogan is directed!
