Why Students Need To Embrace the Sabbath

When I was in ninth grade, I developed a consuming anxiety disorder that plagued me on and off throughout high school and college. When my daughter began ninth grade last year, I was worried. I didn't want her to go through the same painful experience I did. But then when the pandemic began and she shifted to remote learning, my daughter was among a small but sizable number of students who seemed to thrive. While online schooling has been disastrous for many students, my daughter -- a textbook introvert and self-motivated learner -- has done well with increased freedom and flexibility and reduced social anxiety. She has also had more time for rest.
