Your perception is negative because you think negatively. You are
obviously offended by my comment. Maybe because you don't believe
that all children are brilliant. I am a parent of two beautiful
children, 3 and 1. I am an educator and consultant and have worked
with the top school districts in the U.S. I have results to prove
the effectiveness of my education experience. This is not an ego
competition here. This is a serious issue dealing with children
who are not allowed to be creative and intuitive. Henry Ford
admited to a court of law that he did not know all of the
historical facts asked of him, but he responded by saying
something like: I may not know the answer to that question, but I
can assemble a team to figure out the answer. Why did he need to
memorize facts when he could hire another with the answer. All
standardized testing and curriculum is mainly left brained
analytical. The right brain is the creative and intuitive side,
which obviously can't stand up for itself. Because the linguistic
left side is so outspoken, the right side is being overshadowed
completely in our educational system. Although my comment is a
little loud in nature, I am speaking from experience and truth. I
am yet to encounter one child who is not brilliant. Intelligence
is not measurable, it expands by exercising the mind. I was
labeled quite a few things because I grew up in the projects,
spoke slow Ebonics, and talked loud and "unintelligently." But I
knew that I was brilliant because of what I was capable of doing,
not because I felt incapable. Children should be proud of,
cherished, and encouraged to nurture their gifts and talents, and
not be discouraged because of lousy grades. I am a college
graduate of course, but you don't need a formal education to be
success in the world. All you need to do is think positive, have a
will, vision, and a purpose for living, and you can achieve
anything you set your mind to. I am living proof sir or madam.
