School Brain Come Up

More From Lexa Doig

I did get to shadow some amazing brain surgeons, a female brain surgeon in toronto, another surgeon in london. and then we had a surgeon onset [of doctor strange] every day. so and he taught me to do sutures and was practicing on turkey breasts, raw turkey breasts.

I had a friend who was the king's surgeon in england. one day i asked him what makes a great surgeon. he replied, "what distinguishes a great surgeon is his knowledge. he knows more than other surgeons. during an operation he finds something which he wasn't expecting, recognizes it and knows what to do about it." it's the same thing with advertising people. the good ones know more. how do you get to know more? by reading books about advertising. by picking the brains of people who know more than you do. from the magic lanterns. and from experience.

Restoring prayer ... will scarcely at this date solve the grievous public school problem. public schools are expensive and massive centers for cultural and ideological brainwashing, at which they are unfortunately far more effective than in teaching the 3 r's or in keeping simple order within the schools. any plan to begin dismantling the public school monstrosity is met with effective opposition by the teachers' and educators' unions. truly radical change is needed to shift education from public to unregulated private schooling, religious and secular, as well as home schooling by parents.

It was like that class at school where the teacher talks about realization, about how you could realize something big in a commonplace thing. the example he gave--and the liar said it really happened--was that once while drinking orange juice, he'd realized he would be dead someday. he wondered if we, his students, had had similar 'realizations.' is he kidding? i thought. once i cashed a paycheck and i realized it wasn't enough. once i had food poisoning, and realized i was trapped inside my body.

I don't know if one's more typecasting than the other, or what i am more like. but i know that the high school i went to was a private school. it was prep school. it was a boarding school. so we didn't have a shop class. we didn't have saturday detention. we went to school on saturday. we did have sunday study, which you very rarely get, because then you have 13 straight days of school. who wants that?

In jamaica we had the english way of schooling from the age of four, so when i got to america i was already a few years advanced because i started school at the age of three-and-a-half rather than six and my grades moved up accordingly. in america, they start you at school at six because the grades are different. i had to take a test and they didn't know what to do with me. it wasn't that i was any smarter; i had just started younger. all of a sudden i was jumped from eighth to tenth grade. they said i was very smart, but i was only smart in languages, really.

Similar Quotes

I'm a smart enough person to know that i don't want everyone to be cookie-cutter versions of the nine guys who wear converse sneakers.

The why is plain as way to parish church: he that a fool doth very wisely hit doth very foolishly, although he smart, not to seem senseless of the bob; if not, the wise man's folly is anatomiz'd even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.

I am not very smart, but i recognize that i am not very smart.

Nobody is as smart as everybody.
