In “Hidden Intellectualism” , Gerald Graff explains his views on the topic of being smart. His explanation was you are either smart in the streets or in the educational system . During Graffs younger days how he hid his intellect during his days so he wouldn't have to deal with any bullying or being labeled as a weird person. He also was scared of a beating if he proved he was smart . Instead of showing he was smart in the educational system, he showed his intellect by arguing about the cool stuff that people conversed about growing up in his rough neighborhood. Graff refers to the cool stuff as in sports. Graff mentions another person who noticed his hidden intellect, Michael Warner. Warner comes from the background of a christian pentecostal
What makes a person intelligent? Does it mean getting good grades in school, or being able to adapt on the spot? Jevon Holland has both of the necessary attributes.

Understanding intelligence difference and its subjectivity are one view of understanding Mike Rose article "Blue-Collar Brilliance"
His idea that successful intelligence comes from analytical, practical, and creative thinking resonates with me. Furthermore, his definition of successful intelligence as “the ability to achieve success in one’s life, given your personal standards, and within your socio-cultural context” ( Troxclair, 2015, Slide 11) gives a deeper understanding of intelligence as compared to academic perceptions. A truly intelligent student must achieve success within their life, not just in my classroom, and not just on certain objectives prescribed by the state. Intelligence must be put to good use for the future. This is something that I try to make my students
Smart people can categorize their strengths and weakness giving them the opportunity to leverage those strengths and weaknesses. Successful and intelligent people have the ability to evaluate, and analyze their abilities. This is different compared to Spearman's g factor because it elaborates how intelligent people can be successful and excel in life (Nevid, 2015).
Most people, when asked, say that a person is intelligent if they have “book smarts.” People that are book smart can write and converse about subjects taught in school. On the other hand, people with “street smarts” aren’t seen as intellectuals because the subjects they are knowledgeable about are not traditional. In his essay called “Hidden Intellectualism,” Gerald Graff insists that schools and colleges are missing an opportunity to translate street smarts into academic work.
“Hidden Intelectuals” Gerald Graff divide intelligence into two categories the first one “ nook smarts” and the second one is “street smarts”. Book smarts refers to people who are able to succeed scholastically. Street smarts refers to a person who has a lot of common sense and knows what's going on in the world. When Graff was young, he shows how street smarts are being bullied by his neighbour such as the “hoods”. He tells us about how he lived in Chicago where people who show their street smarts are seen by the hoods as putting airs over them. They will be called as smart ass and being bullied and they will take your money.”... he relieved me of my pocket change along with my self-respect.” But in our society, book smarts are seen better than people who are street smarts. “ I grew up torn, then, between the need to prove i was smart and the fear of beating if I proved it too well: between the need not to jeopardize my respectable furue and the need to impress the hoods.” by this he tells us that he is in a dilemma between getting a good job and develop his book smarts or develop his street smarts to impress his neighborhood. In the ending of this article he thinks that schools and college are not giving students the chance

Every student is intelligent within their own way, academically and street smart. This is brought up by professor Gerald Graff in his essay “Hidden intellectualism”. Within his work he begins by bringing up a comparison between the potential of street smarts and academic smarts. His views are in support of street smarts as he begins to recount his childhood as a street smart and academically smart child. His problem with both types of intelligence was how he was portrayed to his classmates , either he was seen as a nerd or a common kids based on solely their intelligence on certain matters.Gerald graft has a well thought out interpretation on why students aren't born intellectuals in an academic sense but instead they could be intellectual
In education, there has been no distinct method to help students apply their “street smarts” into academic intelligence. In Gerald Graff's short essay, “Hidden Intellectualism,” he explains people are intelligent in their own unique way, but educators must help adolescents convey their intellects into a classroom setting. Graff targets students, teachers, and administration to educate them about a hidden intellectualism that can be found outside a classroom setting. Schools and colleges might be at fault for missing the opportunity to tap into such street smarts & channel them into good academic work; Gerald Graff uses personal anecdotes, credibility, and logic, all while using a balanced emotional viewpoint to convey that schools and
Dicey and Sammy are both showed intelligence throughout the book. Dicey demonstrated intelligence when Dicey washed two windows to get a map of Connecticut. Dicey didn’t have to suggest an alternative to get the map, she could have just gone on with her day without a map. By cleaning the windows Dicey got a map plus an extra quarter for her good deeds. Likewise, Sammy was savvy when he was in the state park.
“Everyone knows some young person who is impressively “street smart” but does poorly in school. What a waste, we think, that one who is so intelligent about so many things in life seems unable to apply that intelligence to academic work.”
The intelligence trait is one that shows the perceptual ability and reasoning. Sam has possessed this trait throughout his career. This can be seen when Walton disclaimed having any genius or unique ability and freely admitted he borrowed ideas from where ever he could. Sam Walton knew that he was knowledgeable enough to do every thing so he borrowed ideas, which showed he is an intelligence person enough to be a successful leader. Any successful leader has to use others ideas to make proper decisions.
The author of Hidden Intellectualism, Gerald Graff, told the readers how he believed just because you are not school smart, you can still be very smart. As a kid, he lived in the melting pot of a Chicago neighborhood with people ranging from Chinese immigrants to “hillbilly” whites from southern Appalachia. It was frowned upon by the other kids around to be school smart, so he learned about the world of sports and saw that being sportsmart was way better than being school smart. As he grew older he began to see how being intellectual about sports helped him so much more than school ever would.
Gottfredson, (1997) stated that intelligence is ‘a very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience.
