What does this mean for the future of intelligence?

Teachers deserve better pay, more respect than they're given, and honestly, a gold medal per kid that's learning in their class. One teacher took to r/teachers and shared a story that bothered them, asking fellow educators to share examples of parents being ‘too busy’ or ‘too successful’ to pay attention to their kids. The teacher shared that their IEP meeting with a student and his mom was unusual. The mom, a lawyer, seemed oddly distant from both her son and the teacher. Despite multiple emai…

One of the greatest feelings in the world is coming across a book that captures your interest. Not a book that you could read, a book that you find so enthralling that you absolutely have to read it.

Entertainment is a personal preference. Read what you want! That's the beauty of it. I wasn't a huge rea…

I could hardly handle my last few semesters of undergrad. You're telling me…

Did you pay attention in history class ? Personally, history was my favorite subject growing up. It didn't really require a ton of critical thinking, at least for me. You kind of just had to show up to class, listen to the teacher tell stories of what happened before our lifetimes, and maybe read a little bit.

Having untreated attention deficit disorder growing up was a hectic time. At least one point each year, a teacher, counselor, or even Taekwondo instructor would point it out to me. But I was 9 years old, and my mom didn’t accept their theories. So 11 years later, I was diagnosed and life became slightly more manageable. For those who have ADHD or even those who know someone with it, there are a lot of quirks and behaviors that are easy to relate to. Are you or someone you know constantly zoning…
