The last month has been a mess with all the school closings and now the olympics, etc., I know my kids have been going to bed a lot later than they should and it's definitely impacting my 9 year old. We will hopefully be back on track this week.

PP, yes! Actually this started (or I started noticing) after the snow closure. We are usually good about bedtime but we got really disorganized during and after somehow. And DH has had some job stuff that's also affected our schedule this year. So being more focused on sleep and fitting everything around that is a good reminder.

That’s really bad teaching. It’s very common for kids to make sloppy mistakes in math.

I agree she’s probably just rushing. But yes keep prioritizing sleep and low screens.
