Equivalence of Intelligence Academic work should not define intelligence nor should a job define ability; a person, regardless of grades, degrees, or job title, is an intellect. Together, Gerald Graff, a coauthor of They Say I say, professor, and former anti-intellect, author of "Hidden Intellectualism," and Mike Rose, professor, author, and in depth thinker, author of "Blue-Collar Brilliance," share two different perspectives on what an intellect truly is. Yet, both writings hold meaningful points
perceived level of intelligence is a judgement that remains beyond first impressions. The idea of ‘intelligence’ for most is simply defined as one’s vocabulary, manner of speaking, and grammar, or level of education. However, education does not equal intelligence, as only academic intelligence can be taught. Even if one is innately ‘book smart,’ this means
cause. It can affect attitude and behaviour in the professional and personal life. Emotions can help or hurt, but one has no say in the matter until one understands them. Some examples of emotions are: joy, fear, anger, grief, etc. Emotional intelligence is one’s ability to recognize and understand emotions in self and others and the ability to use this awareness to manage one’s behaviour and relationships.

Jesse Rania Professor Forbes English 101 7/21/2015 The Case for Gritty, Growing Students The questions of learning and intelligence have long been debated since education has ever existed. That learning leads directly to intelligence is an assumption which has not been subject to adequate scrutiny. Typically, a fixed mindset believes that an "intelligent" student is one who invests less of almost about everything to not only succeed but also to achieve outstanding results. That is, by studying less

When I tried to speak up, my teacher would stop me and say: “we are not going to change the school system just because you want to, we have been using the same teaching methods for many years.” Although, I did not stop doing what I enjoyed, I continued writing about fashion and beauty. While, I was forced to keep my intelligence to myself and hide it from everyone
2015 Intelligence in Blue-Collar Jobs In his essay titled “Blue Collar Brilliance”, Professor Mike Rose reports on society’s narrow-minded views on the intellectual resources of people performing jobs that entail manual or service labor. Rose criticizes that stories about blue-collar workers generally miss the focus on the intellectual demand their jobs require. Rose proclaims that the type of work a person does or belonging to a certain social class does not define a person’s intelligence. In fact
emotional intelligence in addition to academics is superior to solely having a high IQ score. American culture cultivates public school systems that teach classes focused on academics. In many cases emotional intelligence is left for the student to figure out on his or her own, or through trial and error in response to disciplinary techniques. Under this system there are frequent cases where a person becomes highly intelligent, or book smart, but isn’t equally balanced in emotional intelligence. In this
The authors Mike Rose, Gerald Graff, and Charles Murray are all scholars in education. Each one of them brings concrete facts about education in America. They all believe that education is very diverse and that it can come from anywhere not just school. For example Mike Rose writer of the text “Blue Collar Brilliance” explains how intelligence is used more in labor jobs than normal jobs. He believes that intelligence is overlooked. For example he talks about how when he was in his mothers store he
No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was established to close student achievement gaps in academics by providing all children with equal or significant opportunities to obtain a high quality of education (Education, 2008). Under the NCLB Act, school administrators and teachers are required to meet adequate yearly progress goals (AYP) on the standardized state and national tests. These goals compare student achievement on standardized test from year to year. All students are expected to show improvement
