We often greatly value school knowledge and ignore the basic skills which have a significant contribution towards our daily life. ]]> 2019-02-26 19:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335585011 https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335585891 Zitong,

I agree with Gerald Graff that " 'Making students' nonacademic interests an object of academic study is useful for getting students and overcoming their boredom and alienation". Reading is not only what you enjoy but something that we can associate with social life. Being able to carry on a conversation with people in most cases will get you farther than just being academically smart.]]> 2019-02-26 19:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335585891 jiayinhe https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335586371 2019-02-26 19:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335586371 https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335586821 According to Mike Rose, " To acknowledge a broader range of intellectual capacity is to take seriously the concept of cognitive variability, to appreciate in all the Rosies and Joes the thought that drives their accomplishments and defines who they are. This is a model of the mind that is worthy of a democratic society". This idea applies to the situation of the current society because people will just look at the blue-collar worker and negatively evaluate their intelligence. However, to really define who they are and how much of the mind they use, is to contemplate the way they succeed in their work and appreciate it. We might define ourselves as an intellectual mind based on who we are and how well we do in school but do not forget the fact that everyone is good at different things and has a variety of intellectual minds.]]> 2019-02-26 19:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335586821 qichen1 https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335587617 JAY

According to Mike Rose "Intelligence is closely associated with formal education-the type of schooling a person has, how much and how long." I realize that education is very important for one's development, which will affect one's ideological building.

" As I writhed under it, I would at times feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing. It had given me a view of my wretched condition, without the remedy. It opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out. "  Why he need to learn because knowledge is the most powerful weapon that everyone can own it.

Mark Rose claimed that "The big difference between the psychologist's laboratory and the workplace is that in the former the problems are isolated and in the latter they are embedded in the real-time flow of work with all its messiness and social complexity." Some of people learned by the truth, such as scientist and mathematician. But most of us learned by our real life. For example, waiters get the working skills while they worked in the restaurant .]]> 2019-02-26 19:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335590425 https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335595750 2019-02-26 19:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335595750 https://padlet.com/taveaursmccd_ed/qqi9nv4g4y5x/wish/335595912 As Mike Rose conclude in Blue-Collar Brilliance "Affirmation of diverse intelligence is not a retreat to a softhearted definition of the mind. To acknowledge a broader range of intellectual capacity is to take seriously the concept of cognitive variability, to appreciate in all the Rosies and Joes the thought that drives their accomplishments and defines who they are."
