Your point has merit, but for a stronger argument, refrain from over-generalizing and combining unrelated issues.

14-21 units of alcohol a week really sounds like that would increase mortality. I'm surprised they didn't find that mortality increases remarkably before then.

Quite many people can't just put their phone away, even when they try to concentrate on something else. The behaviour seems to be very similar to other addictions.

Prohibitively expensive cost would probably be the reason for “not”. Though for business class and luxury travel, I suppose it could be feasible, ignoring ethical dilemmas of using a lot of energy to indulge the rich. But as a society, we i

Things are very different in Europe and in the US. And even in different countries in Europe, I suspect. Summer vacations exist but opportunities for catching up during them might be limited in public schools. Many don't have remediati

We moved on from algebra as a focus quickly. In Central Europe, my high school math courses in grades 11 and 12 were about equivalent to math in a CS BSc in uni in the UK. Formal languages, computing, matrices, and other such things. But yo

I feel conflicted about this. I started learning algebra around grade 6 in Europe, so I think pushing it back to grade 9 is a bit far. But on the other hand, I was always amazed by how much skipping just a week or two of school a year could

I was also annoyed for the opposite reason. I had assumed until then that math was more about application of what’s been proven rather than revisiting the proofs. I think the majority of students feel what I felt; that math got a lot less a

Docking, not necessarily. Laptops have ports all over the place: on the left, on the right, on the back, and sometimes even on the front (like the 3.5mm jack for headphones). You could probably use only one USB port on the laptop and integr
