In America, we see struggle as being “dumb”, or just not as smart; but why is that? In the passage Stigler says, “people who are smart don’t struggle, they just naturally get it, that’s our folk theory”, I believe that some students understand things more quickly than others; yet I do not believe that anyone is stupid or should have to be put in a special classroom. Being put in other classrooms is one of the main reasons why students feel “stupid”; just because it takes kids longer to do their work does not mean that they should be taken out of the regular classroom for help, I believe that if we (students and teachers) wait for all the kids to do their problem they’re working on it will help them feel more intelligent.
