The world could use more people like Mr. Engelberg!

Because that is what heroes do!!

It's a good thing the child finally calmed down, because no parent should have to choose between teir child and their education, but every student can expect to be able to listen to the teacher without baby screams in their ears for 4 hours a day. The best thing would be to build a little daycare at the university (actually, an architect from the 30's tried to implement that in his buildings and it did work).

Years ago, some TAFE colleges in Australia (trade schools, not university but tertiary education) ran free childcare centres staffed by students studying Childcare courses, giving the students supervised work experience and mothers a chance for an education. Given the profit margin of universities and colleges, rostering students of Education to run similar childcare should be a feasible option.
