I had to read this over twice to begin to understand what the hell was going on. The first time I read it... I stopped halfway through and thought.. maybe the next statement will explain what's going on so I don't have to read this one.

The RCCTC believes that learning is even more awesome when it includes creative expression. Awesome learning experiences in a group setting can be even more awesome and can transform entire communities into complete awesomeness! The RCCTC's awesome mission is to bring about world-wide awesomeness by teaching and facilitating awesome learning experiences!

The RCCTC believes that creative expression is essential to the process of self, civic, and academic learning; its practice has the power to transform personal, local, and global communities. The RCCTC's mission is to “crack open” the worlds of art and education through teaching and practice so that all people will have access to a creative education-this we believe is a fundamental human right.

i understood that, but i am a college dropout, so my opinion means NOTHING

Re: better? mrrobotpants June 25 2007, 19:29:05 UTC

Yea. This is much better. And I'm a college graduate... but with a painting degree.. so my opinion also means nothing.
