During this time, American Indians were not taught how to read and write or really learn anything at all considering that they were identified as being “dumber” than the other kids by society. Sherman Alexie did not agree with being treated like this, he wanted to be smart, and he also wanted to learn. He taught himself how to read and write and when he got older he taught other kids how to read and write as well. In the essay titled “Superman and Me” it states, “I throw my weight against their locked...

...mom was one of them; she was a young girl who was differentiated by teachers of the same race. She was made fun of by her teachers and treated awfully because she was not smart enough. Every time the teachers called her name, she gets all shaky like an earthquake thinking that she will get in trouble or humiliated in front of her classmates. My mom was born in a small town in Cherry Hill, Maryland and she went to Cherry Hill Middle School. Back then, black people were segregated, so they had to walk miles to get to their school even though there is a neighborhood school. She walked three miles to her school and back while the white kids rode on the bus. She lived in a big family, so money was scarce and she had to fight her older siblings before they ate all of the food on the table. She always followed her older brothers around wherever they went and instead of playing with dolls, she went outside to play basketball, jump rope and play tag with her brothers. Even though she did not have the best childhood memories of school, home life was different....

...leave their studies and work alone and try to live a little? When will geeks leave their parents’ basements and shout they are people too? How about our friends, will they ever stand up straight and be heard or will they be left behind the group of cool kids, plotting their revenge? Infrographics Guy commented “Aw, who cares, geeks and nerds rule or will rule the world when they get older so bow to them now while you still have a chance.” Yes, Nerds are still unpopular but they are coming up in the world. No longer are they basic people with button downs, glasses, and suspenders. The term “nerd” goes back as far as I can remember. The term is not something they like to claim but it’s just a gift that certain humans were born with. Everything about them is evolving, nerds do not dress the same anymore or do they act the same. Nerds are literally smart people and it’s a big correlation in the two. Being smart seems to make you unpopular. Why? To someone in school now, that may seem an odd question to ask. The mere fact is so overwhelming that it may seem strange to imagine that it could be any other way. The key to this mystery is to rephrase the question slightly. Why don't smart kids make themselves popular? If they're so smart, why don't they figure out how popularity works and beat the system,...

Gadgets tend to be more unusual or cleverly designed than normal technology.” Our lives were changed by technology since the 20th century.

Devices fall into four categories: mechanical, electronic, programmable, and application. Mechanical gadgets include the wheel, the pulley, the bicycle, the sail boat, and the sort. Followed by electricity, gadgets were improved and taken to a new level as inventors discover a different uses of newly applied electricity. The television, radio and quartz watch are some of the examples of electronic devices. After electricity, inventors toyed around with electronic information via microprocessor where begins the age of programmable devices such as computers, and later, MP3 players and the iPhone.

This helps not only the professionals but also the children and students at the very young age. Way back then where technology does not still exists, student...

...Reflection Paragraph Ender’s Shadow : 1 In the novel Ender’s Shadow, by Orson Scott Card I can reflect in the beginning that Bean is a tough kid that has learned quite quickly. He picked things up from the streets and learned how to not get bullied a lot and to stay away from certain people. He learned the essentials of living on the streets in a cruel world where nothing is nice and everyone is competitive. In the start he was about to die of starvation. He had mentally strengthened himself to survive. He chose to help Poke, because she looked stupid enough to believe whatever he said. But Poke came out to be even dumber than that and chose Achilles as the bully. This was her biggest mistake. Bean warned her, “"Kill him," said Bean. "If you don't kill him now, he's going to kill you." (10). Bean knew he was trouble because he looked smart, even with his gimp leg. Achilles was a cruel killer from heart and would do anything to win. Achilles was a thinker and knew what steps he should take to take control of Poke’s crew. He slowly persuaded everyone...

...children. As many parents are not as up-to-date with the latest gadgets, they tend to have little knowledge on the possible effects technology might bring. But technology, while useful, brings many negative effects to teens' lives. Parents who have technophile kids should be aware of the possible risks and dangers. Predators Informed parents know that the media blows the prevalence of online sexual predators out of proportion. However, they do exist, and they often go after easy targets, namely children. Technology such as the Internet and smart phones give both children and predators the ability to make contact with large amounts of new people. Uninformed children might feel they are making a friend but in fact are running the risk of being preyed upon. The key risk here, though, is not the predator but the lack of adult knowledge about technology and the lack of supervision parents give to their children’s online behaviors. Parents who feel bad prying into their children’s lives are ignoring the fact that most children, especially teens, are sexually curious, willing to take risks, and have poor decision-making behaviors. So, while not common, sexual predators do exist and should be something parents talk to their kids about before allowing them full reign online. Mental Health Problems Clinical coordinator at Illinois Addiction Recovery Shannon Chrismore wrote in the book, “Internet Addiction: A Handbook and Guide to Evaluation and Treatment,” about the comorbidity between...

...ARE EITHER BORN SMART OR YOUR NOT!!! It has been beliefs that you are born with the amount of smarts that you will possess. Many people think or live their life through disinterested thinking. This does not allow their brain to focus on the knowledge that is being ingested. The normal functioning human brain at birth is like a sponge ready to absorb the knowledge that is being spilled upon it. Under Plato’s theory the brain can discover its knowledge through disciplined study based on our ability to reason, understand and evaluate. Socrates theories whether beliefs are opinions or do them hold some universal truth. Here are two famous quotes that can give reason this belief is not true; Whatever your mind can conceive and can believe, it can achieve ≈ Napoleon Hill Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about ≈John Demartini The social environment plays a major role in the development of intelligence. You can be born a genesis and also be molded into one. A baby can be born with a certain amount of intelligence but having poor social nurturing can cause your intelligence not to grow to the full potential of their genes. The power of the mind when properly focused can achieve whatever you want. Sometimes knowledge or smarts is mistaken for a belief. A belief can be a thought or idea passed down through generations. The belief must first be analyzed and proven to be considered a form of knowledge to become part of the “smarts” that develops...

...In the article Hidden Intellectualism, Gerald Graff addresses the problem with intellectualism and the education system. He starts off by noting that most everyone knows someone else that may not exactly be the most studious person, but is incredibly street smart. This brand of smart is too often overlooked in school settings because, as Graff puts it, “we associate the educated life, the life of the mind, too narrowly exclusive with subjects and texts that we consider inherently weighty and academic,” (Graff 244). Put simply, he states that the education system sees street smarts as anti-intellectual. Graff goes on to offer an anecdote from his own life. Throughout primary school, he never cared for books assigned to him in class,...

...America and dead in student educational achievement. Here are some of they differences that the U.S. and China have. School strategies should be created that match school and student need. The “one” size fits all” approach does not work. Today, students would find school more interesting and inspiring with the more useful of visual aids such as DVD’s movies, field trips, internships, on the job experience and training. Class assignments could encourage use of cell phones, Ipads, current tech equipment that todays students enjoy. Not all students are “book learners.” Grade students on what they creatively bring to a class not just label them by a test grade. . The positive parts about the U.S is that we give our kids a social life. That’s a big part of growing up and learning a lot of things about life. I wouldn’t be the person that I am today if it wasn’t for my social life. China send their kids to school ten hours a day unlike us which is six hours. That’s a really long day in normal society and I don’t understand how those kids go to school for ten hours but look where they are. There the smartest kids in the world right now. The positive thing about schools is that their kids are on such a high level its ridiculous. One reason why they are so far ahead is their work ethic. Those kids night and day want to be the best student they can possibly be. They are so afraid to let their parents down because it’s a disgrace if you get...
