• Hanging around until you’ve caught on.

Robert Frost

I think this means that you stay somewhere until you learn what is going on or what they are teaching.

• [A process] which makes one rogue cleverer than another.

Oscar Wilde (1856-1900) British poet and dramatist.

I think it is saying that teaching can make you better at what you are doing.

• [Education] consists mainly in what we have unlearned.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer.

I think it is saying that education is only what we have not learned. If we learn the same thing again then it is not education.

• A man who has never gone to school may steal a freight train: but if a he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad.

I think that someone who has gone to school can do alot more than the average person who has not gone to school.

• The aim of education, should be rather to teach us how to think, than what to think.

James Beattie

I think it means that education teaches us to think better than just knowing.

• Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember.
  Involve me, and I’ll understand.

I think it means that if you are involved in what is teaching then you will remember waht happened.

I think it means that no matter how old you are you are still learning.

Mary should just ask if she could change her locker so that they will not know which locker is hers. She could also put something like a board in front of the locker so that the notes can’t get in. If she can, she can also hide a camera in front of her locker or anywhere else noone can see so she can see who is putting the notes in her locker. I have never had this kind of problem before so I guess im lucky.

I think Maria should talk to a doctor and see what she can do. Then she can go tell her what might happen if she continues to do what she is right now. She might star eating more than just diet pills. She could even get a picture or a mirror to show her shes not fat at all.

A leader is someone who encourages people to do better and helps them. They make a difference in the satisfaction level of the people working with him. He should be able to make everyone happy and know what job they would prefer.

A leader should be able to know what he is doing. If he does not then the whole group will fail. He also needs to listen to everyone’s opinion and put them together so that everyone is happy.

If I was a leader I would try to help everyone and make the right choices. I would try to get everyone to like what they are doing and make them happy about it. I would want to be a team leader and make the group happy.

I think I would be a successful leader and everyone being very happy. I would make the best choice that fits the situation and put people in the best groups. Then I would make sure everything goes as plan. Then I could get the job done

For the last 2 weeks out class have been doing a presentation about world leaders that changed the Earth in a positive way. We had to do 5 slides and had to have some recent leaders that are still alive or within this century. I finished this presentation yesterday.

Today before class 2 people were hiding bags and me and someone else were watching. Next time we should help instead of just watching. Our teacher said that small problems can grow into big problems so if we continue doing that then we migiht do something worse.

I took a personality test at personalitylab.org and when I looked at my scores, It seemed right. It said I am serious, like to relax, and like to cooperate alot, which I do alot. I got low scores on everything except agreeableness. I think that this test is accurate but not everything was right.

The most important thing to me is a project we have in world history and I don’t want to get a bad grade on. I have to research on David because he was a king and find out differnt things about him like if he was an effective ruler. Then we have to make a power point and present it to the class. Each one of us will make a few slides on what we researched and then combine it. We have until next wednesday to complete it. I hope I will get a good grade on this.

This week of school we did alot of projects for english and science and they were fun. We did a collage and for science we made like a map projection from a bottle and now we are making landforms. For social studies we are doing alot of reviews. Classes seem shorter now but we still learn alot. 7th grade is ok.

I had a great summer this year. I got to relax alot and just sit back and play video games and go outside and play with friends. I also stayed on the computer alot and chat with friends. I did not go anywhere because my mom wanted to stay on Guam for this summer. I also got to see some relatives who visited Guam this summer. This sumer was great
