hAppY ReOpEn ScHooL!!!

ya ya i know, what the heck with me?? posting such a post,....not for me but for my beloved jnrs back there in school, they must be having blues about reopen school and just wanna wish them happy reopen school and have a smooth sailing day for the first day of school. and i actually got the intention or the feeling of going back to go for this school reopen as a student....wakakakaka.....crazy and 'siow' me.......finish STPM, graduated and still wanna study in the school....FOR WHAT?? RIGHT???....erm maybe because i really no longer gonna need to go back to school as a student and really gonna miss the school life a lot. and maybe because i am holdaying now doing nothing but working makes me miss more about school life. especially the moment when i saw my school bag and tie yesterday since i wanted to clean it up and packed it while i was cleaning up my room.... the 2 most essential items that i always been using and had not been changing especially my tie which i wore it since form1 till Upper 6, that is 7 years in my school life.....arrrgggghhhhh.....before i off to go, allow me to present a short article by Jerome Burner about 'What the School is??"


The school is an entry into the life of the mind. It is to be sure, life
itself and not merely a preparation for living, one carefully devised for making
the most of those plastic years that characterize the development of humans and
distinguish our species from all others. School should provide more than
continuity with the broader community or with everyday experience. It is
primarily the special community where one experiences discovery by the use of
intelligence, where one leaps into new and imagined realms of experience,
experience that is discontinuous with what went before. A child recognizes this
when he first understands what a poem is, or what beauty and simplicity inhere
in the idea of the conversations. If there is one continuity to be singled out,
it is the slow converting of the child’s artistic sense of the omnipotence of
thought into the realistic confidence in the use of thought that characterize
the effective man.
