Jason was studying for his Social Study test last evening and asked me to do a mock test on him before we slept.
The 2 main topics being tested this morning are Conflicts in Northern Ireland and Conflicts in Sri Lanka.
You know what?
I have been reading news about the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and IRA in UK but I have never looked deep into the causes of their conflicts.
Well, after last night session with Jas, I am now more aware of why the Tamils & Singhalese are fighting with each other. Similarly, for the Protestants and Catholics in UK.
So I think I have learned more than I could have helped Jason in his preparation for his test.
Or we actually killed 2 birds with one stone as the saying goes.....; ie in that short period of time, I learned something and he got his revision done with my help.
Ahhhh...... I am a bit more wiser today and never too old to acquire new knowledge....
