What is intelligence? What makes someone smart? Is it knowing a certain amount of facts and doing well on a test? Or is it knowing how to react in certain situations?
My own personal, worthless opinion is that intelligence has nothing to do with school. Anyone in the world can memorize a bunch of facts and do well on a test. After all, that's all college is! Knowing enough to pass a test, and then forgetting it all.
Gee, I'm awful cynical lately....

did you know,
I read your blog.
This is something that ive been trying to wrap my mind around lately as well. getting points on test is pointless if you dont retain the information, its just regurgitating facts. thats the problem with our society when it comes to education, people are more worried about a point or two on a test then they are about if they have learned something or not.
