The crease in the page

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I was having a discussion yesterday with a work colleague about how people learn.

She told me what her English teacher had taught her:

when you learn something it's like a crease in a page. The more you learn it the deeper the crease and the harder it is to hide or remove the crease.

If you learn something wrong and reinforce that the crease is there for the wrong thing and learning the right thing is more difficult.

What lessons did your teachers give you that have lasted your lifetime? (No names or schools please.)

"The formula to solve quadratic equations."

That one didn't manage to make a deep crease in my page.

I've never forgotten it. There are quite a few equations and maths and science lessons that have stayed with me.

BODMAS

SOH CAH TOA

etc...

Titz Towers, North Notts

I had a really good history teacher who was happy to loan me a load of history books and I just devoured them. They were all of an age and full of dates, maps and chaps, but it gave me a real framework in world history for when I went to Uni.

I don't think those even made it to my page. I was at school when there was a maths teacher shortage and didn't have a maths teacher for two years.

My history teacher gave me a strong framework on world history too - much broader than the curriculum we were supposed to be following.

My head also did something similar with Latin for understanding English.

Lots and lots of poetry, novel and play quotes in both English and French including lines from La Peste by Camus and all of The Second Coming by WB Yeats.

That sulphuric acid is H2SO4.

That potassium permanganate is a lush purple colour.

Series and parallel electrical circuits are useful for different purposes.

That 'e' is a magic number.

That both Charlie Parker and Mozart were amazing.

Plus loads more - I may have gone to a standard mixed comprehensive but I had some truly inspiring teachers along the way.

My French teacher really drummed it in that DRAPERS VAN MMT are the thirteen verbs that use etre instead of avoir.

Always sticks in my head.

The first three lines of the periodic table.

I can still recite them now and haven't studied chemistry since I was 17!

I did too. A really broad education in the truest sense of the word. All in Hackney and in a comprehensive.

Distance, Speed Time triangle thing.

How to cook - My family gave me the starters, the school made me into a beginner and I taught myself the rest along with tv chefs and the internet.

Everyone should encourage their kids to take cooking in school at GCSE

I agree, except they call it food technology and don't do enough cooking.

Will it need a hot iron or will a delicate setting work?

Being taught by sadists certainly makes things learnt, stay learnt.

I never experienced that at school. I think it would make me resent the 9 times table.

That on the whole, children will always respond better to praise and encouragement as opposed to consequences and punishment.

I was also taught it's not good to have the bow on my violin completely out of sync with the rest of the orchestra.

Did you manage to synchronise with the rest of the orchestra?
