Education

I had such an interesting discussion with my English teacher today about the point of education. Earlier on in the day I had had to sit through physics with my teacher who believes education is purely for the purpose of passing exams. Luckily in English we put the world to rights and we all agreed it was to inspire someone to love a subject. A really successful teacher is someone who can make a pupil love the subject so much that they explore it even after the exam is over. I will always love English and always have, but I think that during the gcse course I have fallen in love with it. I am fascinated; I could listen to a lecture on English lit or lang for hours on end. I always scribble far too many notes. I have a really interesting topic that we discussed in English that I was jot down in a post tomorrow, but for now I shall go to bed.
