Well, as the mother of a 'student teacher' who is very much too busy to get any sleep, it seems like. I can only hope that teachers are among the most well rested. After all, that would mean that he, my older son, may be running on caffeine now--coffee and 'Red Bull', but later he will get some sleep.Sleep, which I can very much understand, can and would be very very important to a teacher.
