Knowledge, Wisdom & Mr. Rogers

After shoveling snow this morning for my workout I was lying on the couch resting. For some reason I was contiplating the difference between knowledge and wisdom. I either decided or had heard that knowledge is what you know and wisdom is what you do with the knowledge you have.
Now why Mr. Rogers? It is not a secret that I like things on the colder side of life. My classroom has been a little too cold. I happen to have a jacket on the back of my chair. I wore it yesterday and again today. While I was talking to my students I looked down and seeing the jacket on me, I instantly felt like Mr. Rogers. The zipper doesn't work so I didn't zip it up, nor did I sing a song. I really liked him and was saddened when he died. I believe he did a lot of good for the world. It did give me a chuckle for the day.

The only thing that would've made it better is if your burst out into song in your classroom. It would've been hilarious!
