This makes me think further into the conversation or dilemma that we came to in class last week.... with intelligence and creativity and whether or not it is inborn. With your father, just like others, society has convinced us that the only way we can rate ourselves in intellegence or feel of importance is via a college diploma, which now is turning into a grad student diploma, or a IQ test. Just like with adolescence in school, our peers and society have created this way of thinking that we each have about ourselves. And we must think about the things that we say to our students each day because these things will someday lead them to these same believs about themselves. They already beleive that they are not equal to others or they are not capable of achieving high goals. We must show them and prove to them, so that they can believe it themselves...they are "intelligent."
