Old School

In ceramics class we learned about the Japanese raku pottery, but that alone wouldn't be noteworthy enough to blog about. It's the way we learned about it that really sealed the deal. It was in the form of a sequential-image stereophonic multimedia event, or in other words, it used that old slide projector/cassette player combination thing that used to be considered hi-tech. I don't know what it's called, but it is so old school. My mind is boggled at the fact that more people seem to be nostalgic of their old Nintendos than the infinitely superior slide projector. The only flaw with the projector is that it's difficult to keep the slides in sync with the sound, but compare that to the hours one wastes blowing their old Nintendo cartridges. The sequential-image stereophonic multimedia player is clearly better by a factor of twelve.

It seems that some of my other teachers heard of the news and decided to jump on the old school bandwagon, but admittedly, their attempts were much less stellar. In math class we learned about linear programming, which over half the class learned the previous year, and in Japanese class the assignment we did was exactly the same as one we did a couple months ago. There was also history class, but that obviously shouldn't count.
