I'm not normally one for prompts, but I saw prompt the other day asking about something the writer learned in high school. I found myself thinking about it throughout the day, and jotting notes to myself about things I'd learned in high school. Here are ten of them.
- You can have an opinion about what you read. Shakespeare wasn't perfect.
- The five paragraph essay is the training wheels for critical thought. Practice so that you can abandon the training wheels.
- It may be impossible to cross a room if you go by way of halves.
- You don't study for a test. You study for the future.
- It is amusing to watch an English teacher teach English grammar with a straight face.
- An all-nighter is a great idea at 3pm and a terrible idea at 3am.
- The first time I learned about the Krebs cycle is the 100th time the biology teacher taught it. Have some perspective.
- If you wanted to get blasted add water to acid. Do like you oughta, add acid to watah.
- Read all of the instructions first and avoid wasting a lot of time later.
- High school resmbles the real world, if the real world involves sitting in a series of hour-long meetings all day long, and getting your work done at home in the evenings.
