why do teachers give assignments? why cant they just test us all at once? lol, sometimes i guess i feel the exact opposite; wanting unit tests and segmented percentage of the course. i guess people's minds change.
i had an interesting conversation with two friends today about what might happen if we took all the middle- and upper-class people out of the world and just had the impoverished and uneducated remaining. would like literally start all over again? would people have to teach themselves math and physics and complex science and art all over? Would there be another generation of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Picasso, Rembrandt, Monet, Einstein, The Beatles, Kiss, and Eric Clapton? Would there be new world leaders, completely different from their predecessors? Would North America become the wasteland of the world, while Russia or even Swaziland become the reigning world power?
An interesting concept. And now for sleep.
