They set daily homework and checked that we did it. <br /><br />My Maths teacher once said: "If you have six apples, and I take half of them. What do I have?"<br /><br />I replied: "A punch in the face!"<br /><br />I got detention for that.<br /><br />My English teacher once said: "Your grammar stinks!"<br /><br />This is what happened:<br />http://timeforreflections.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/one-day-i-was-boy.html#comment-form<br /><br />God bless.

When I was in college I doubled majored in English Literature, and afterward I got a Master's in English. And I'm 53 years old and one can learn a lot about many subjects in all those years if learning is an consistent part one's life. Also, I didn't have children until 49 and that's a lot of free time. Oh please don't feel impressed. This is my hobby and what I spend my free time with. And please, please don't feel small. You've published books. I've never.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-52784874063192668582015-10-09T05:25:18.925-04:002015-10-09T05:25:18.925-04:00I must admit you are one of the most knowledgeable...I must admit you are one of the most knowledgeable and learned person I know. What I don't understand is how can an engineer, who obviously has to study a lot to be an engineer, and to keep up with engineering progress, have enough time to also be so well read in literature, religion music and all other subjects? Are you a professor of some sort? <br /><br />I admire you. Even though you sometimes make me feel so small.<br /><br />God bless.<br /> Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
