I spent a total of five years at university.
one year foundation degree in Fine Art and Creative Writing.
Three year full BAHons in 3D Materials Practice (Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics) - that is the official title. i promise.
One year PGCE secondary Design and Technology teaching qualification.
and yet, when I ask people on GA what they attend/will attend uni for i feel dumb, because i went to art school and i teach design and food technology and they do all sorts of higher level complex things. Me, i can make a soup bowl and then make soup to go in it.
i love education (though i think the system is rather broken), and i think that regardless of your formal education, no one should ever stop learning, regardless of the context of that learning. even if all you learnt today was a new way to get from point a to point b, you have kept an open mind. everyone can learn something everyday. I get my kids (in my tutor group/homeroom) to do this sometimes. "Today i learnt..." and despite the fact they've been at school all day, some of the answers are pretty interesting.
My favourite: Today i learnt: that i cannot drink a whole 2 litres of coke before third period and expect my teacher to be happy about my sudden need to go to the bathroom....
