"Never let your schooling interfere
with your education."
Michael McKinney is an intelligent, music loving 10th grader at Washburn High School. It was very interesting talking to Michael with given questions to discuss because it brought up topics that the two of us would not normally discuss.While I was talking with Michael, I learned that his is a big thinker. People see him as someone who is very into his schooling and is always working, but also as immature. That isn't all there is to him. He is studious, and can sometimes be a little immature, but he always makes a point to have fun. Michael's board read "Never let your schooling interfere with your education."- Mark Twain. I believe this quote is saying that there is other kinds of smart than just book smart. You need experiences to truly be educated, you can't rely only on what you learn in school. Talking to Michael led me to realize that Michael has strong beliefs, voices what he thinks and is very smart, in things other than just school. It was wonderful to learn more about Michael McKinney.
First of all I love Michael's quote, I think it's simple and makes a lot of sense . I think that you make a very good point by saying "You need experiences to be truly educated." Good work!
ReplyDeleteI loved the quote that Michael had on the chalkboard because it says that school is more than just books and homework and that you must do and experience the really learn in school and in the real world.
ReplyDeleteI know michael and this seems about right. yeah yeah, the quote is nice, but i think that my interpretation of it is very different from anyone else. I think it means, don't let school change your thought on learning because you can learn from everything. It may just be me.
ReplyDeleteI like that quote
ReplyDeleteI agree with the statement being said about how learning can be more than what you learn at school. I think that people can learn anywhere at anytime. No matter the situation. That life itself is a lesson being taught. It just depends on what and how you learn from it (if that makes any sense, haha).
