Her plan was to get the same results that she got in her last schools, but in this case she did not. In the text it says “Mr. Daniels sees the bright, creative kid underneath the trouble maker.

Gladwell reveals that to excel in the world, one must be born with or introduced to the right tools. These tools may include being born into a high class home, when one is born, as well as being recognized early in school. When Lewis Terman, in 1921, conducted the Genetic Study of Genius observation, he only took into account the subjects I.Q. scores. It wasn’t until later, when he noticed the divergence of three different groups A, B, and C, did he realize that it wasn’t only about scores. The groups were separated by societal class, group A born from the high end of the scale while C was from the lower end. Group A, as well as most of B, did superb at the same time that group C fell out. Intelligence

Everybody remembers that one troublemaker they went to elementary school with. Was this kid a boy or girl? Though it may have been a girl, the majority of troublemakers are boys. In a study done in schools in 2011, teachers said, “according to a survey of teachers which found that a fifth thought girls were more likely to cause trouble than boys” (Vasager 1). This is not the case in the children’s book, David Goes to School by David Shannon. Although girls also can cause problems in school, throughout the story David Goes to School, David causes all the trouble in his class while the girls are setting the good example of a student.

Since term two, 2013, Sabrina’s uniform often looks as if it is not ironed and sometimes unwashed. She has been handing in homework late or incomplete. She does not ask her teachers or her classmates for any help when she does not understand the lessons and will not volunteer to answer questions.

After discussions with Mr. Meyer, Craig and I have elected to proceed with his suggestion that I write to each of Allye’s teachers on a weekly basis.

One book that has influenced me is called“The Boy Who Played With Fusion” by Tom Clynes. This book documents the journey of the 14 year old nuclear physicist Taylor Wilson from his birth to the completion of his nuclear fusion reactor (which named him the youngest person to ever accomplish the feat until Jamie Edwards who built a reactor at the age of 13). It also ties in research articles related to educational and developmental psychology. It aims to find the right method to teach and develop child geniuses and offer advice to parents of gifted children.
