If I showed up at your house, you would be feeling sleepy and tired within a few days, if not a couple. I am coming down with a cold fast! So, you best hide, because not being able to sleep while well, is better than bey sick. Now, when I'm well. I can stop by and if you need me to come over........Hey, I thought you hiked. Photos you share had me assume that you do. That's a great way to get physically tired. You need to put your phone down at night, the same time, every night. Or, turn the computer off, whichever you use. Lay down! Think of those hikes. Good things only. If you still can't sleep, stay there. Keep thinking good..no negatives. Now there you have it. A Granny's 2 cents. Give it a try. . Put the phone down. Close those eyes.

I need to remember this for myself

That makes total sense! I think that’s definitely a valid concern. But I think either one would be a great option.

The American school system absolutely sucks and it’s all about standardized test scores and getting everyone to do well so the school can get good scores or money rather than actually thinking and learning anything. So it’s not you ha

Yeah, the school system is awful. On paper, I did okay in Elementary school, I usually tested as reading 5-6 years ahead of grade level, but I didn't feel like I was learning much. Maybe I had an advantage when it came to those reading tests, since according to my mom, I started reading before I was two years old

Suuuure cuz Your not her ud hate me if u were mine



Thanks, yes sir looks like all is well, there wasnt even a lump, and as we left the school building, before even making it to the truck, shes telln me shes already feeling better tryn to get outa goin to the hospital after she heard me discuss that w the nurse.

Used to stay up to all hours of the night (and morning) on my phone, procrastinate work, etc. oh wait.... I still do all that.

Seems you already knew most of it which is probably why you felt like you weren’t learning

That was part of it, but the slow pace was really what made it awful. I'm still pretty weak when it comes to math, though. Math is my weak area.

Yeah, they do go really slow. Don’t even cover most of the stuff. I really think it’s just to prepare for the tests and that’s it. :/

And yeah I’ve always sucked at math haha

It also seems like schools have adopted an "everyone is the same" mentality, and causes the individual learning needs of children to not get met.

In the 80s and 90s this started to be a huge complaint and they started changing things about 10 yrs ago. Its in all the school handbooks how children are individuals now, how long it takes for those words to become actions i dont know but that issue is at the forefront of education these days.

Pump Up The Volume with Christian Slater ( ) is an excellent example of how long that problems been known

Whelp the kids get up early enough, im off to lookit my eyelids. I am another of yall that only sleeps 5 or 6 hrs and must manage-- but if i lay down without being utterly exhausted? i am litterally looking at the back of my eyelids for two hours as i dissect everything ive said and done today . As long as i get more than 2 unbroken hours i make it thru the day.
