from her daughters Chua writes that her daughters Sophia and Louisa were never allowed to go on a date be in a school play watch TV or play computer games They couldn t choose their own after class

the nation the government said Wednesday The controller working alone in the tower fell asleep and was out of communication for 16 minutes while a medical flight carrying a patient was trying to land at about 2 A M Wednesday at Reno Tahoe International Airport in Nevada the Federal Aviation Administration FAA said in a statement The FAA announced that it is also investigating a controller who fell asleep Monday at Boeing King County International Airport in Seattle and two controllers who were unresponsive at Preston Smith International Airport in Lubbock Texas on March 29 The agency had earlier revealed that an air traffic supervisor fell asleep March 23 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and a controller slept for five hours at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville Tennessee on Feb 19 I am sick of this Senate Commerce Science and Transportation Chairman Jay Rockefeller a West Virginia Democrat said in a statement We can t have an aviation system where some of the people responsible for safety are asleep at the switch As the incidents pile up sleep experts say it demonstrates that the agency faces a systemic issue with the thousands of people expected to work through
