I've seen this research reported before in past years. Interesting and jives with my personal experience.<p><i>It is my strongly held view, based upon the evidence, that the efforts of dedicated teachers and the money spent on school facilities will have a greater impact and education will be more rewarding when, collectively, teenagers, parents, teachers and school governors start to take sleep seriously. In the universal language of school reports: we must do better.</i><p>But good luck with that. It should be obvious by now that public schools are not meant to serve students and their educational needs. Schools are meant to allow politicians to buy votes, give unions power, and provide daycare for busy parents.
