*facepalm*

And now minty kisses, it's time for him to rail against you for making a polite suggestion. Have fun with him, he's all yours.

 

Noooooooooooooooooo... Ancient Red!!! I don't want him!!!!!!!!

Okay, though on a serious note, please tell me where I was childish. I was making a comparison that I thought was quite on key.

 

You forgot something, darling.

You're wrong. You can't be right. No-one can. Ever.

Only baller.

 

*sigh* Even Socrates would have given up on teaching you anything...you're already too convinced that you have nothing to learn from anyone.

It poses an interesting chicken-egg problem, though. Which came first? Your disdain for everyone else, or everyone else's dismissal of you as a fool.

 

Baller, don't you think the qualiied teacher might know more about teaching and its philosphy than you, or indeed, me?

 

OK, now that you guys have stopped flirting ....

I first learnt to use chopsticks back in the hippy-drippy sixties when they were de rigueur for eating macrobiotic meals of brown rice and even browner vegetables.

Disgusting really.

I still use them for rice-based meals and stir-fries, and continue to marvel at their versatility.

They are the best tool for cleaning caked-on dirt out of the vanes of a vacuum cleaner filter, and for freeing up the sludge in sink-traps without all that tedious unscrewing.
Then just wipe them off with a damp rag and they're ready for the next stir-fry.

Just don't tell your dinner-guests.

 

Hehe.

Say, you wouldn't be anywhere near Oakham, in Rutland, next week, would you?

 

Thanks for that, Chunky...I think I'll stick with the disposable ones.

 

I can vouch for the vacuum cleaner use!

 

They're great for stirring pasta, too. And tying your hair up with.

 

The closest I've ever been to Oakham was playing with my brothers model railway set-up when I was a kid. That was the name he gave to it, and I never knew it existed until today.

Darndest thang!

It's a moderator thing.
Good to see you Piggit, it was getting kind of lonely around the nether forums.

 

haha And here's me thinking I spend too much time here!

 

edit: this was a mistake.

 

Don't worry. I'll get it.

 

Oh, shame.

I'll be there for a week on a singing school with the Tallis Scholars. We get a fair amount of time off, and the ale's mighty good.

 

i'm awful with chopsticks. we got vegetarian sushi and soy sauce from tescos and my partner taught me how to use them... took me ages to actually eat though

if forks and knives were wiped out in the great culinary war of 2009 and the only sort of cutlery left was chopsticks, i'd use my hands

 

As a college graduate, 2 times over, electromechanical/fluid power (good community college!), as well as certifications from two private schools(AutoCAD, AB PLCs) I too, take umbrage! harummmph!

I am not boastful, but also in high iq range. To the best of my knowledge, it is genetic. Reasoning, and deducive powers were mentioned.What waa there?: math, memory (pictures, images to be recalled), juxtapositiioning, associative skills,...
If you are smart, generous and kind, this counts for more, imo.
To me there are Three kinds of smarts: IQ, empiracle knowlege(inc. formal and informal learning) and wisdom.

The last one inc. common sense, is what man seems to have least of.

btw: I practice the use of chopsticks in Chinese restaurants, I find it a good way to practice some dexterity.

 

I don't even know if the plant they asked us about really exists, but anyway. We're not talking about a take-home test or homework. So even if there would be an entire book about it, it wouldn't help you unless you knew the questions before you had a look at the test.

A paper? So you did it at home. Well.. It's not that hard, is it? I don't know much about the cities in numbers, but I'd start with looking up employment rate, social welfare, the percentage of children and young adults involved and so on. Basically, get an idea of people in those cities. If you know the major problems, you start giving possible solutions for them.
Add a bit of crime prevention programs and you should have a good basis to work with.

Oh well, opinion questions. That's not really hard now is it? Especially because it takes you back to what you've studied before the question was asked. You take what you've learned as pro and cons and start debating what school you agree with most and why. Standard questions.

 

You just want someone else to clean the floor afterwards. :lol:

 

Just to clear things up on the education front.......

The word itself stems from the latin verb....educare..... meaning 'to lead out'.

Therefore....the true purpose of education.....and the role of any good teacher would be to help any student find what is already latent within that student....and set them on the right path.

After that, it's up to the individual......and...you can't teach anyone to be smart......but you can encourage anyone to have an enquiring mind......and a place at the best university in the world is by no means an essential part of that process.
