Yup. In adulthood, I find I, still, either *really, really” dive into something, or have to slog through it like mud.

and yeah the systematic sleep deprivation of children who are ostensibly supposed to be _learning_ is such a giveaway that "do something with kids while parents work" is a primary purpose

Seriously. High school in particular was awful because I was half-asleep through all my classes. I'm so much more productive and happy now that I have flexible hours and get as much sleep as I need...

Can you imagine night classes in HS? Would have been so much more effective for so many night owls

Imagine if we could have learned or practiced for a couple of hours starting at 6, taken a break to make dinner together, and then free-form discussed what we'd been working on while eating heck, parents could come too!

My #1 regret in college is not sleeping more. I was going to study sessions that started at 1 AM (because my math-major crowd were night owls) but still waking up at 7 because that's what "good girls" do. I got suicidally depressed freshman year.

Sometimes I hear people who teach teens wonder how they can be so intellectually lazy, how they can make such stupid mistakes on their problem sets. I *was* that kid sometimes, and I know it's not because I don't like learning in general. I was just sleepy. Really sleepy.
