I think this is a brilliant quote. When do we stop learning and start thinking? For many of you that should be SOON, as High School is right around the corner. Regurgitating information is fine but a TRUE teacher will ask you to think, not regurgitate. It is not until you THINK that you truly LEARN.
Thoughts?
Conucius, the chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese thought and life.
ReplyDeleteThat quote is pretty tripindicular
Amanda K.
Of course, Confucius also did not believe in equality for men and women, now THAT is tripindicular!
ReplyDeleteWow Mr Fabozzi your right. That is pretty tripindicular. We learned about Confucius in 7th grade History last year. I think. o we get the pleasure of learning about him this year? Even though hes more Chinese History rather than U.S. History.
ReplyDeleteAmanda K.
Nick C says I dont think any thing about thinking!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, no Confucius this year, just an interesting quote is all. It is more for your edification than anything else.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nick, Love your quote, that's funny (and not true?)
Edification? Does that mean moral improvement or guidence? Thats what I got from the dictionary, but I would really appreciate you using less difficult vocabulary. :D
ReplyDeleteAmanda K.
A fine vocabulary is worth it's wait in gold, the average person uses 10,000 common words per day, it is the rare person that uses 14,000 per day, it is only the truly learned who use 16,000 or more per day. Which do you want to be, average, rare, or truly learned?
ReplyDeleteWhy must you always anwser a question by asking a question? Trly Learned. How is you early vacation going Mr. F?
ReplyDeleteAmanda K.
My "early" vacation consists of me sitting for 8 hours a day listening to someone speak... beneficial but tedious. Believe me, I would much rather be in class with all of you! Happy earl
ReplyDeleteYeah sitting around for eight hours does not sound very fun. Happy Earl? I love My Name is Earl!
ReplyDeleteAmanda K.

ReplyDeleteI just want Nick and Star or Toni and Dallas to win. Is that too much to ask for?
ReplyDeleteNo Amanda, it is not too much to ask, those are the two teams my wife and I are rooting for as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah Well hope you watched last night becuase after that I offically hate the Amzaing Race! That is so unfair what happend "They" should have gotten a do over! I seriously teered up when they were elimniated! They didn't even get to finish that leg of the race bacause they were so far behind!

Amanda, fortunately I did not check the blog until this morning, otherwise you MIGHT have ruined it, but my wife teared up as well when they were eliminated. We really liked them! And, the frat boys are just annoying! Go Nick and Starr!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, how did a discussion on THINKING turn into a discussion on the Amazing Race?
ReplyDeleteHehe sorry Mr.Fabozzi :) I guess we were "thinking" about amazing race?
ReplyDeletedarn i didnt watch it yet... oh well will now.
ReplyDeletei like the mom and her son. nick and star are a bunch of fakes!! from somebody in 8th period
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how it turned into a duiscussion on The Amazing Race. Oh wait Maddy said that it was hystaricle (i know thats spelt wrong) so I started talking about it. NO MADDY! The frat boys are annoying! Oh My Goodness. They are so not going to win so They should'nt of even be in top 3. I will feel real stupid (English vocab word) if they do win!
