16. I teach special ed and most of my kids were premature babies

Several weighed barely more than a pound at birth.

One thing that is always left out of these miracle baby stories is that they often have lifelong disabilities. I am not saying they should never have been born but it's wrong to paint a picture of happy normal children who just happened to be born early or small.
