    A1 Tom Riddle. Anakin mucked it up with love paranoia & just followed orders. Tom stuck to the core subject #weirded
  • mrburkemath Apr 26 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd A1 Tom Riddle strikes me (Thwack!) as the better student. More formal class setting. Bit of a teachers pet Learned everything

    #WeirdEd Interesting... A1 In some ways, both exceeded their respective teachers' expectations... So, I don't really know.

  • MissShuganah Apr 26 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A1 Being curmudgeonly. Going to suggest Kwai Chang Caine because it was more meditative. I liked how he'd think back on lessons. #weirded
  • msmusiced Apr 26 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A1: Tom Riddle didn't have an internal struggle like Anakin. He knew what he wanted. Could focus more with a goal in mind. #WeirdEd
