When I think of intelligence, as a teacher, I tend to think of the ability to understand concepts. In teaching we are taught that there are various forms of intelligence, something I agree with wholeheartedly. There is spatial intelligence, mathematical intelligence, artistic/musical intelligence, etc. That is why you have students very good at language, reading, and writing, but not so good at math...and vice versa.

this is good news. when i did my brief stint in school 147 years ago, the emphasis was overwhelmingly on verbal skills. i'm glad schools have learned a bit in the meantime.

of course - and this is what is so interesting. i meant it when i said i've never seen a stupid child. i'm thinking of little kids. if you can hang out with them with no other adults around, you will find out that they are bright, enthusiastic and eager to learn.
has anyone else noticed this too, or is that just my experience?
if it is indeed true...
..."They" put them in the machine at one end, and when they come out the other end, only some of them are still intelligent. the question is....what happens in the meantime - school, TV, social pressure, movies, mass culture?
 
What you said "..."They" put them in the machine at one end, and when they come out the other end, only some of them are still intelligent. the question is....what happens in the meantime - school, TV, social pressure, movies, mass culture?"

I would say all of the above: TV, entertainment center and musics are the three major factors that damage a child's intelligence and put the child back in achieving high grade. Social pressure, movies and mass culture are other factors that will hinder the child's intellectual development. Finally, parenting are one of the biggest factors that will hinder the child's intellectual development. Another factor if there are problem in the family that by itself will not only hinder the child's development but will permanently damage and scar the child and might even cause the child into doing bad things. Look at the culture of the West, it pushes and cheers stupidity. If you watch TV in the west you will notice most cartoons and sitcoms encourages stupidity: Simpson (is the worst), Family Guy, etc, etc.
