I was reading a post this morning and wondered about the poster. I think that too many folks make summary judgements about people that are incorrect. Also, our educators now HATE the old I.Q. tests. The Whoopsie, the Wechsler the WHO. We are all born valuable but not equal at all. Some of us are far better at things than others and some people have very few skills that can help them earn a lot of money. I have thought a lot about nature vs. nurture and believe that there is a lot more that is innate, inborn, fixed, than we were previously taught.
What does that mean? Probably that we all need to be a lot more open minded and accepting on a lot of DIFFERENT levels instead of pushing the trendy educational agendas. What if that the truth about people lies in another completely different way? What if we cannot fix Autism and mental retardation? What if really, really, really bright people are often social misfits and find it difficult to get a job???
What if certain personality traits are truly genetic and inherited?
