RE: Sub-optimal conditions for success

I've come to realize that individual teachers are the important component, while the institution itself is broken beyond repair.

For sure. My father was a teach for almost 60 years - the system is broken, great teachers are becoming like hens teeth.

In any case... I've been there... I know how it feels to be awakened in the middle of the night by a young child who I thought was/or should have been sleeping peacefully "by now" ...

Many do, I think that it is part of becoming a parent. Ours has food allergies and the last year or two has been good (comparatively) to the first year and a half - which was a nightmare.On top of that, the hospital screwed up parts of the post-birth treatment for my wife... fun times.

This time, I think it was mostly the fever that woke her up and then, the light in the room keeping her up. This far north, the light starts very early already.

Thanks for adding your comment here, it definitely helps to discuss these things - too often, the things that are important don't get talked about, while everything else gets discussed to death.
