@M_Millerman Negative respiratory effects of fireworks smoke. Assisted suicide for terminal patients. Inadequate vegetable consumption causing widespread sub-clinical chronic gastrointestinal complaints. That poor parenting can't be fully reversed by even the best teachers.

@M_Millerman Parental attitudes wrt sports vs academics- insisting on travel teams and expensive private coaching for sports while opposing tracking and acceleration for STEM because it is "unfair" and "kids need to learn how to get along with less capable peers"
@M_Millerman A surprising percentage of historical leaders and creative geniuses seem to have been bipolar... Are we losing something as a society by pushing mood stabilizers as the first line of treatment for mostly-functional adults with mild hypomania?
