is Mr.Shick a teacher?

Today in class we took notes and thought more about philosophy. We looked at a picture of a pipe that said “this is not a pipe”. We learned that it is actually a projection of a picture of a painting of a pipe. We also compared our classroom to plato‘s allegory in the cave, and it turned out there are lots of similarities. It’s similar because like the people in the cave, students are faced on one side of the room and forced to watch what the teacher teaches them and then they have to say what pleases the teacher to get a good grade. We also took notes on the Mycenians and the Dorian period of ancient Greec.The Dorians were a group of people who were a lot less intelligent than the Mycenaeans, but they burn down lots of Mycenaean towns and cities. Because the Dorians took over, they did not write or record anything so the only thing we know about that time period is from homers Epics. Homers Epic’s were used to talk about the history of ancient Greece so people can learn about it because there was no writing. Some of his stories are about the Trojan war and then the consequences of it and what happened to a guy after it.
