Intelligence… Is It Worth It? Intelligence is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to intelligence. While intelligence was very important to a lot of people, including Charlie, it was not the most important thing in life. Charlie Gordon , in Flowers For Algernon, had the vision that intelligence would help him fit in and become happier. So, when Drs. Nemur and Strauss asked him if he was willing to have this surgery that will triple his IQ of 68, of course he agreed. However, now,…

organization nor did they have any weapons. All indications lead to the conclusion that this group was simply trying to hustle someone who turned out to be an undercover informant. James J. Wedick, former FBI supervisory agent and consultant for the defense, said, “These guys couldn’t find their way down the end of the street. They were homeless types…They only cared about the money. When we put forth a case like that to suggest to the American public that we’re protecting them, we’re not…

Introduction Project based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach that education professionals should consider integrating within the classroom. This teaching/learning instructional strategy provides students with inquiry opportunity; students are encouraged to pursue answers to their own questions by way of problem solving, data collection, and discussion. Finally, they will share what they have learned with an authentic audience in a creative format such as a project, digital presentation, or…

right. Education is so important for students because it sets the groundwork for future successes. Not every child learns the same way, so with practice, teachers can evaluate their students and put them into similar groups based on multiple intelligences. Education allows…

Explaining this class to someone who hasn’t taken it, would be somewhat difficult due to my bouncing around with words and not staying on track. However, I would do my best to explain it. First, by telling them to take the test that determines what his or her learning patterns were. Then after we had figured out what type of learner they are, go from there. I would go by telling them what all four learning patterns were to the best of my own knowledge, and try to explain to them what they mean…

learning is based on achieving performance goals. It has been said that students who strive to achieve performance goals believe that knowledge is an inherent talent that is finite and unchangeable (Dweck, Mangels, & Good, 2004). This theory of intelligence is called entity theory and it can be a hindrance to learning by luring students into the trap of accepting poor performance and thinking that the results are a…

A counter argument may be that non-LD students are classified as LD, but in actuality are just are lazy and do not put forth an effort. That is not always the case. It has been proven that this is not true. There was a research where LD students that were recognized by the school as LD were compared to non-LD students who were not recognized. Although the scores were similar, forty percent of the students had a possibility of being classified incorrectly. Their results indicated that schools are…

I have read a few books that have significantly shifted my view of the world. Some of these books are prestigious--like Plato’s The Republic and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird--and some less so--for example, Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible. In the past few months, I have added Technopoly by Neil Postman to that list. While this text may not be the most well-known of Postman’s novels, the ideas and arguments he presents within it are in some ways more disturbing than those in the…
