Do you feel you learn more from Tolkien and the Downs than School? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien and school are two very different things.

Tolkien is something I do for fun, instead of the brain atrophying TV. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Learning I do so that I can go to medical school <-- learning is also fun, I just need a break sometimes.

And to you teachers out there Thank You for making a difference in your students lives. Or at the very least trying to. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tolkien has inspired me in my writing though. I’m taking a college English course, and have yet to score below a 94%, and that’s for a handwritten in class essay
