Meaning that people learn more from others than they ever will in a class room. It is much better to learn how to learn, than simply to acquire a set of facts and figures. Man is basically a social animal and we learn by interacting with others. Organized education is a lost cause, as far as I'm concerned. I never liked the enforced conditions, the feeling that you were slowly being forced into the mould of a typical stiident. (It took us three billion years to evolve the abili- ty to communicate verbally and there is always some blankety-blank telling you to shut up.) The next question is why it took me 20 years to get out. One of the problems of being bright, it that peo- ple expect a lot of you. My marks in school were always pretty good, without really trying. It frightens me to think what they could have been with a little effort. The odd summer job that could have panned -out into full time employment always seemed to be ter- minated by pressures to return to school, usually from the employer. After crapping out at university, I was then over educated for many jobs. (But finding jobs is a whole other subject, and keeping them yet another). So the result was another cool September mor- ning spent waiting for another year to start. That first day was either cold and autumn -like, giving you a foretaste of days to come, or it was hot and summery, taunting you with one more day of summer, wasted cause you couldn't spend it on the beach. The first day, like the last, was always a waste of time. After registering, checking out a new locker, kibbutzing with friends, and the mandatory "getting lost" while locating your new home room, checking out the school to see what changes had been made and planning revenge on the administra- tion because you got Miss So-and-so for the third year in a row - well there wasn't much left of the day. And the beautiful summer-like day had turned to rain, or the cold and turned to heat and there was no time left to use the day - in any case another day was gone. The first day of September was the start of a fresh new year, it was optimistic and full of expec- tations. Fears and anxiety too, but we always went off to the new year. First days, be they _school or otherwise, are never easy. 1 secretary of state of Quebec in the translation depart- ment.
