Learning by Osmosis

Hi Fans, Hoboclown here.Flash Mc Cool has some Back to School thoughts- "Going back to school takes a lot of adjustment, especially after a long summer of impulsive habits.I am a four thousand year old clown but my earliest memories of school seem like they occured just yesterday!The first thing I remember is how big and strange everything was and that there were always new rules to get used to such as: Quiet! Stand still! No talking! Raise your hand if you have a question! Take your hands out of your pocket! No sleeping in class! Stay in your seat! Do your homework! Study! Study! Study!No chewing gum ! Also, every year you have to get used to the new students in your class. Sometimes your grades are affected by your interaction with other students.Each year is more dificult and you get to appreciate the fellow students who help you with your assignments.When I got to High School one teacher used to tell the class clowns that they were learning by osmosis because they had not studied. Actually, we were learning by Rosmosis. You see, Rosmosis was a bop clown with a bright pink wig.She was an A+ student and knew everything.Roz was also cute.She was so smart that she never had to study and just seemed to soak up knowledge like a sponge.I thought I could learn a lot by just watching Roz. As time went by, Roz got prettier and prettier and I found myself just staring and staring at her while the teacher taught us Biology, the science of life.The more the teacher taught, the more I just stared at Roz. I couldn't quite understand the teacher's instruction and illustration of anatomy .However, when I stared and stared and stared at Roz the whole anatomy thing began to sink in.There it was ! I was soaking up knowledge just like a sponge.I managed to get an A+ in Biology that year. So,if a teacher tells you that you must be learning by osmosis because you surely haven't studied ...just grin, press on and keep staring..." _______ Well,as you can see Flash Mc Cool has a different slant on the lessons of life.
