Today's Wisdom Nugget:
For science today, the students created their own "light bulbs" using batteries, clay, copper wires, and 32-gauge nichrome wire for the filament. When the connections were made, the nichrome wire heated up a bit, even smelled funny, but, unfortunately, no light was created. When asked by one of my students why their light bulbs weren't working, I honestly replied, "I have no idea." To this, the student responded, "Wait, aren't you the teacher? How do you not know?" I cried for hours.
But then I remembered one of my favorite quotes: "An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." -Anatole France
So, it turns out I am a genius. Thanks, Anatole!
