An old boomer teacher from Mexico just a few years ago casually but proudly commented that he preferred to give his math and physics classes at 8am, as the students (meaning their minds) would "still be fresquecitos (nice and fresh)".

This is the stubborn medieval old wives tales ignorance - from the science teacher, no less - that any enlightened attitude within the educational system is up against.
