Street Smarts Gerald Graff Summary

Decent Essays
Gerald Graff mentioned critical points about intellectualism. He mentions that schools fail in providing students with materials of their interests. Graff learned the principles of intelligence by reading sport magazines, even though sports are considering a waste among many educators. I agree that schools need to let students read and write about what interests them. Even if the subject is not considered to be “intellectual,” the student can make it work.
Graff argues that street smarts beat out book smarts because they satisfy an intellectual thirst. I agree to this because street smarts actually put effort on their interest. In my opinion, street smarts are more creative in their interests. I believe that street smarts learn from experience

    English Professor at University of Illinois and coauthor of "Hidden Intellectualism", Gerald Graff, uses sports and his childhood to illustrate how street smart is much more far-reaching than book smart if not the same. "Who you lookin' at, smart ass? As a leather-jacketed youth once said to me as he relieved me of my pocket change along with my self-respect.", is possibly the start of how Graff started to view the importance of street smart and book smart ("Graff"). He brought the two smarts together hoping to use subjects to interest…

    In the article “Hidden Intellectualism” by Gerald Graff, he writes about how the American society views street smarts in the lines,” Nor do we consider one of the major reasons why schools and colleges overlook the intellectual potential of street smarts: the fact that we associate those street smarts with anti intellectual concerns. We associate the educated life, the life of the mind, too narrowly and exclusively with subjects and texts that we consider inheritably weighty and academic. We assume that it’s possible to wax intellectual about Pluto, Shakespeare, the French Revolution, and nuclear fission, but not about cars, dating, fashion, sports, TV, or Video Games.” (Graff…

    Trust me, I know stuff: A summary of Gerald Graff’s “Hidden Intellectualism” In the essay “Hidden Intellectualism,” Gerald Graff explores the idea that the educational system fails to recognize street smarts as a valid form of intellect. In particular, Graff suggests that schools and educators are at fault for overlooking street smarts because of the assumption that such intellect is invalid and of no use to academic learning. Although some people believe that being knowledgeable about sports, fashion, or cars is not a proper type of intellect, Graff implicitly argues that if an individual is passionate enough about a specific subject, they would eventually develop excellent academic skills, just as how he did through sports. Ultimately, what…

    Being book smart was necessary among the former group, but the latter group did not appreciate book smarts at all. Graff needed to know both of the groups’ protocols and accurately distinguish between both of them, and apply those protocols accordingly. Both groups have their own values, thoughts, actions, modus operandi, and norms that separate them from one another. Learning about both of them is intellectual in itself. Graff then states that in his seeming anti-intellectual proceedings with his friends about toughness and sports, he “learned the rudiments of intellectual life: how to make an argument, weigh different kinds of evidence, move between particulars and generalizations, summarize the views of others, and enter a conversation about ideas” (Graff).…

    An intellectual is defined as a person who places a high value on or pursues things of interest to the intellect or the more complex forms and fields of knowledge. This definition of an intellectual has been restricted by an educational system to mean indoctrinate students into what the system believes to be “academic”. Gerald Graff’s essay “Hidden Intellectualism” argues that there is knowledge and intelligence beyond what the traditional education system is practicing. Graff contends that incorporating the interests of students into the lesson will help students think more effectively and logically. “Intellectualism” is seen by how well a student does in traditional subjects.…

    "How come education and intelligence of a character must always be offset by his social ineptitude, or condescending attitude toward his 'techno babble?' How come being above the average in some area is so often portrayed as some sort of socially undesirable eccentricity?" (Maciac) Today's television bolsters the idea that individuals who are viewed as "smart" are lesser class citizens. Children's shows on Disney Channel portray an inaccurate view of intellectuals to viewers causing school children to look down on being intelligent and thus not working in school.…

    I have met some of the smartest incoherent people in my life because they live their lives through what they learned in school. This begs me to classify, which is more valuable in life: book smarts, street smarts or to possess both qualities equally. Book smart people are usually the individuals who most likely exceed in school and graduate with straight honors or scholars. As well as, these people follow the rules and gain information from someone else’s writing. To clarify, book smart people are very intellectual when it comes to certain academic subjects like science, history, and mathematics.…

    I don’t exactly agree with the statement that the academic knowledge taught in school is worthless. But I do think it is a societal issue that critical thinking isn’t developed in our children like it used to be. Today our kids have information at their fingertips.

    “With school turning out more runners, jumpers… and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers and imaginative creators, the word “intellectual’ of course, became the swear word it deserved to be’ (Bradbury 55). School now is not mainly about learning math, science, English and the arts, it’s about making the kids athletic. The founders of this society wanted everyone to be equal and happy, so they had to dumb everything down so no one felt threatened by others’ superiority. “surely you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally bright… wasn’t it this bright boy who you selected for beatings and torture… We must all be alike… Each man an image of every other… for there are no mountains to make them cower…”(Bradbury 55-56).…
