{a sigh}

I was reading back in this book, and I saw some things about classes ...

Why would we need them?

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

For those who want to learn, of course!

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

But why? Classes are boring.

1/2

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

Wh-what?

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

No! Classes are not boring! That's a horrible thing to say, sir!

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

It's just my opinion. Why would I wanna' sit still all day?

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

You don't have to sit still for a class, nor do you have to be in it "all day".

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

That was an example, the fact of the matter is that I wouldn't be entertained.

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

Well, what if there was a class on something you were interested in? For example, I know many people seemed to like the idea of martial arts classes.

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

I can read a book.

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

I suppose, but there are some things better learned with experience.

[lessthanstelar.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's enough people here that would enjoy that kind of thing...

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

It seems that way, unfortunately ...

[lessthanstelar.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really affect me too much, because I'm used to learning by myself.. s'a shame, though.

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

That's too bad. It's more fun to learn with others, sometimes.

[lessthanstelar.livejournal.com]

You think ...? ...It seems like it would be kind of distracting...

[technocolorcoat.livejournal.com]

It's a shame, really. But there are other ways of being a teacher, my dear.

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

Do you think so ... ?

[alwaysmoony.livejournal.com]

You were a teacher as well?

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

Well, I was only a substitute teacher, but I enjoy teaching very much.

[alwaysmoony.livejournal.com]

I was only a professor for a year, but it was a very memorable one.

What did you teach?

[gottalovebooks.livejournal.com]

Oh? I'm glad it was a fun experience.

I taught English. How about yourself?

[alwaysmoony.livejournal.com]

I always loved that class, as a child.

...Defence Against the Dark Arts. I taught at a magical school.
