If we haven't managed to solve that predictable riddle in an organisation by now, what is the readiness for unpredictable events? --- End quote --- But I think you would agree that "NOT having the problem at all" is superior to "having a problem with known solutions". That is why in my OP, I referred to it as a "wasting people's energy" (I notice I had a typo in the OP thus not getting my message across! I wrote "waiting people's energy" instead of "wasting people's energy". I corrected it just prior to this post). In my pre-retirement days with responsibility of an IT department with international access, it was a real headache. Besides scheduling meetings, conference calls, etc., on "short nights" we needed different batch processes to ensure proper up-time for domestic as well as not non-domestic business hours. Tools were slower than and less powerful back then. Even mass emails were batched for overnight because of bandwidth constrains then. While we have better faster tools today, but knowing nature of people, I am confident people correspondingly expanded their expectations -- the available night hours would still be too short to do all the "likes to do's" and even less with "short nights." |

It always comes back to food, namely shitty food. And the effect gets worse as you get older. --- End quote --- Dude.. there is a mountain of evidence here for years, its not caused by energy drinks. If anything kids will use energy drinks more with an earlier start because they are sleep deprived. Of course poor food will make it worse, but that is not the cause. --- Quote ---That adolescents have a biologically driven delay in their sleep-wake schedules is uncontested, and in fact, it is observed across cultures, including those with limited access to technology. --- End quote --- --- Quote ---reinforcing that the early school starting time at morning is a strong temporal challenge for teenagers, having negative impacts on cognition and academic performance. --- End quote --- https://theconversation.com/the-biological-reason-why-its-so-hard-for-teenagers-to-wake-up-early-for-school-88802 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5726563/ https://www.rand.org/blog/2020/01/teens-are-driven-to-stay-up-late-but-why.html https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33826994/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15866859/ |

Just be wary of the mountain of evidence generated by people who don't frontline teach. At the end of the day, the numbers are still slipping. Anyway, I wonder if the traditional approach to education is toast except of course for the densely populated areas. I'm more interested in what the last few decades in general and the last few years in particular has done for home schooling and for small community learning. |
