Great job, Diamond and Vanai! I especially loved your comments on how teachers ask, teach and tell students to study but don’t have effective ways for students to learn how to study. You both admitted that students need to take that on for themselves, but teachers and schools need to do more to support kids in what they need to do outside of school, and not just in the school.
