I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT I NEARLY VOMITED THE BREAKFAST TO WHICH THEY’D INVITED ME.
Hi hi hi hi last Monday I gave a speech at the teacher only day of my old primary school about learning. One of the points of the speech that I struggled to articulate was that the creative and the academic are the same thing. Someone asked me when I thought the distinction between the pursuit of the creative and the academic should be made for students and I said they were the same thing. At the time it was just me standing in front of about fifty people or something but had I a projector and an Internet connection I would have shown them this xkcd blog.
If you can’t be bothered reading this blog the gist of it is Randall Munroe discussing the way men select urinals related to the proximity of other men. These pictures should give you the gist of the post:
My point at the speech was that one can be as creative with math as with painting and I believe this blog post is a great example.
how’d the talk end up going man? Was it to kids as well or just teachers and staff?
scratch the second part of that question. Teacher only day would imply teachers only. Feel free to reply to the first question
