teachers

had a driving lesson this morning which i woke up late for because my git of a phone still had date issues, but other than that it was a good lesson didn't do much wrong, i suppose that i should get the theory test out of the way so i can actually do the test when i can. got back and had a sandwich, tuna and sweetcorn from a little plastic tub, it's pretty addictive actually. went to all saint's they were doing air resistance, which isn't the easiest thing to show in the world, so i threw a quick experiment together to show water resistance and by proxy air resistance as liquid is just like gas except thicker. made spinners with them, they were rather interesting and i explained why they worked, i'm not sure if the kids understood or not but it's the principle of the thing, at least it was good science, although it was only half an answer, the rest of it is equilibria and pressure which i studied during my IB chemistry. so i couldn't exactly tell them about that. but i suppose that half a truth is better than none. although the opposite is true for some things and only half a truth could cause chaos. but what are we here for if not the pursuit of knowledge. i know that what is true is not neccessarily correct because truth is circumstantial to what the speaker knows so everyone can be truthful but not all of them correct. just like every one is guilty of something or another at some point in their lives.
