I've had time lately to reflect on my intellectually disappointing and unpleasant return to grad school (economics), and I enjoyed your insight: "learning is fun. If you don't find it fun then there is something wrong with the school, not you." Amen. (The observations about the character-destroying properties of rote calculation were also spot on, you'd be surprised how much of that there was too).Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123384778981698330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314604831057966001.post-49228450324338980872007-12-30T15:25:00.000-08:002007-12-30T15:25:00.000-08:00Thanks, Jacalyn.

I'm glad to see that you are still entertaining with your words, hope you still play the guitar and sing the martimer songs! I remember the math games, adventure stories of F, A and K, and of course the songs!<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Jacalyn B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314604831057966001.post-42174110743293800172007-12-12T00:41:00.000-08:002007-12-12T00:41:00.000-08:00Thank you, Mark.
