Don, Tommy and I were preparing for our final presentation for the Systems Dynamics class.
“You know, this will be my last class,” Don remarked. “…ever.”
I have another module to do next term, but for most people in my course, this Lent term was the last term with taught classes.
“Ever?” I laughed. “You mean you’re done with the MPhil? Done with postgrad? Done with school?“
“That’s right,” Don declared. “I’ve decided. Learning Stops Here.”
I drafted a similar article to be published soon in my blog. I thought for a while…Hmm, let’s see what others wrote. It’s quite true and sad.
Ffft.
At the end of year 11, I said, “No more maths — EVER!”
Four years later I took two compulsory maths subjects at uni.
Can’t say that I blame him…of course, I’m not done. I’m an education junkie. 😉
