Mount Pleasant Magazine July/August 2017

Remember the game of school – similar to house
– that we all used to play as children? One of
us would take on the role of “teacher” and one
of us, or several of us, would be the “students.”
And later on, after a snack or a bike ride or even the next
day, we’d inevitably play again, but this time the roles
would be switched around. Someone else would be the
teacher and someone else would be the student. Funny,
isn’t it, how the process of learning in adulthood is similar
to this childhood game? The roles of giving and receiving
knowledge are always changing – and the venue is not
always inside a classroom.
The cover of our July/
August issue shows exactly
what I mean. Check out
local kid Wyatt Deaton
enjoying the waves in this
summery photo by Krysta
Chapman. He’s part of
a larger crew of surfing
youngsters who learn from
older friends or family –
then turn around and show
someone else how to do
it. Read more in Krysta’s
feature story on page 28.
Elsewhere in our Education issue, you’ll learn more
about former Charleston Mayor Joe Riley’s friendship
with Mount Pleasant’s mayors over the years; weather
patterns and hurricane tips to keep in mind this summer;
the history of some of the public schools in East Cooper;
how Wando High
School puts its
literary magazine
together; a new
community art
gallery in town; and
much more. This is
also the issue with
our Independent
School Directory,
our new MP Pets
supplement and
Smiling Faces, our
dental supplement!
Whew – a lot to
read on these long,
sunny days!
Speaking of teaching and learning, one of my favorite
parts of my job is working with my editorial interns.
Even though I’m the one in charge, they always manage
to teach me a thing or two. It’s a good reminder, I think,
to keep an open mind to those you never expected to
learn from. Once we graduate from the classroom into
what I like to call the school of life, everyone’s got a
lesson to share.
Enjoy the rest of the summer, y’all.
Yours,
Denise K. James
