Just a minor thing, but with all these RAF Schools popping up maybe we should have a small subboard for them in General, just so they don't hog/clog up the General Board. Just a minor suggestion since it seems to be spreading like wildfire XD.

I agree. We had originally asked for a subforum, but it was decided that we should wait and see if it takes off first. Since so many people seem interested in the RAFschools I think a subforum would probably be helpful and keep things a bit more organized.

Woo! Thanks, goom!

Cool.

Thanks goom. Though, umm.. could you move Dameg's French lessons? XD

Actually I think they belong more in the RAF projects board. $:-\$

I'm not sure I agree. All RAFprojects have to do with RAF or RAFians. The RAFschools aren't integral to RAF, nor do they really have anything to do with it. Like all things in the General Board, the RAFclasses could be found on any forum. What makes them special, of course, is that they're here and run by us!

Terenia · « **Reply #8 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:27:55 PM »

Yeah, I agree with Marie. RAFSchools isn't a project, it's an ongoing thing. There is no 'end product' like there would be with a project.

goom · « **Reply #9 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:29:38 PM »

alright its done.

Terenia · « **Reply #10 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:31:24 PM »

I already said this, but to reiterate your awesomeness: THANK YOU!

While nowhere near as good as Adam's stuff, I've made a little gift for our RAFteachers

Thank you!

It's a nice banner !

But can you explain why there is an apple?

Terenia · « **Reply #15 on:** April 10, 2010, 05:55:00 PM »

Apples are kind of like the symbol for teachers. I guess that's an American thing?

Toc' · « **Reply #16 on:** April 10, 2010, 05:58:47 PM »

I didn't know that.

Is apple the symbol of knowledge or ... ?

Terenia · « **Reply #17 on:** April 10, 2010, 06:03:25 PM »

According to yahoo:

Quote

Apples have a long history of greasing the wheels of education.

According to aboutapple.com, the juicy fruit is a traditional present for teachers in the United States, Denmark, and Sweden. Some think the practice originated as a simple gift of food for poorly paid teachers. Others believe the good health associated with apples made the present particularly meaningful. And a few even think it's a nice name for a child.

Giving an apple to a teacher is also the origin for the term "apple-polisher," which was first recorded in the late 1920s. Apple-polishers, also referred to as bootlickers or toadies (among other, even worse nicknames), aren't always favorably looked upon by other students.

In other words, apples started to represent teachers and education. They represent the relationship betwenn the teacher and the student, they still give me apples sometimes. I think is cute, and actually I decorated my classroom this year with apples.

Toc' · « **Reply #18 on:** April 10, 2010, 06:14:22 PM »

Haha, why not.

I thought of something different... with Adam and Eve and the apple she gave to him, just as if she offered him the knowledge.
Would have been cooler than yahoo's story :p

Terenia · « **Reply #19 on:** April 10, 2010, 07:09:55 PM »

True, but that brought about the fall of man and, yeah....people already think teachers are boring. We wouldn't want them to think we were spreading evil throughout the world too.

It's actually a sig and the apple is cuz, well IDK if this applies in France, but an apple is like a teacher's unofficial mascot

EDIT: nevermind, it's been answered already

(FYI ... it wasn't an apple ... it was probably a fig tree being the forbidden fruit as the area for that time didn't have apples.)

ARE YOU SURE?

I thought "sig" stood for "signature" and a signature can be some words, a smiley or a "banner".

A sig doesn't necessary imply a banner.
What you made was a banner that we can put as a sig.

SuperBlue · « **Reply #25 on:** April 10, 2010, 08:39:30 PM »

Well then I guess it would be a banner that was made to be a sig

Terenia · « **Reply #26 on:** April 10, 2010, 09:28:52 PM »

Semantics. It's awesome, Blue. *high--fives*

Coal Kropotkin · « **Reply #27 on:** April 11, 2010, 03:47:17 PM »

Dude, Blue, that's awesome!!

And, it wasn't a fig, either, most Christians believe it's a fruit that isn't on the earth anymore.
