But no, what you said isnt 100% fact. Some people have very good hand eye coordination.

What?! I fail to understand how relevent good hand eye coordination fits within the framework of intelligence and tests?

Could you possibly mean that hand eye coordination trumps over studying?


And wikipedia/sparknotes doesn't cause people to fail tests. I read wikipedia articles all the time and use them as starting points for all of my papers.

Wikipedia is in no way responsible for bad scores. People who read wikipedia articles in lieu of studying is not the fault. The fault would lie with the school system for not giving teachers more freedom to teach, teachers who teach for exams, and especially most of all the students who fail to study on their own and depend on teachers and school to get exactly what they need, when in fact schools hardly teach students what they need when leaving highschool.

Then factor in parents who expect schools to do their jobs for them and then blame the school systems for failing at the task when its the parents fault for not doing what they should be doing: raising their kids.
Its also hilarious how parents who blame the system, in fact, hold the power to change the system through legal and proper means. PTA, Board of Education etc. ISD are lead by the community, and if the community fails to correct problems then those problems will stack down through the hierarchy and end up damaging the most valuable thing. The children who will be unprepared for the world.

If that isn't enough of a reason for parents to care. How about the fact that ISD's are funded through tax dollars? That's your money, going towards a improper and broken system. Would you, your parents, or anyone for that matter want to keep wasting money, especially for something like education?



Of course, all that aside. Maybe its a simpler case of your 5 year old friend being simply being young. Young enough to easily zoom past school, young enough to quickly pick up games and young enough to quickly adapt to video games.

ahhhh no no no...i wasnt reffering the hand eye coordination with intelligence...my bad! i was saying that because games obviously require hand eye coordination and was saying that the lil man could just have very good dexterity and the likes!

so yeah, my very bad for not explaining that properly!

But back to studying...! there are so many factors in reality to why intelligence has dropped over the years...technology is a massive part of it, and as you know over time technology has made us lazier and lazier...its been mans biggest downfall since creating the spear

But not to say its not a good thing...yes the internet holds a bank load of knowledge, but its how people obtain that knowledge now!
Sure exception to all rules...some people will read the info and learn from it - but also many people just copy and paste and flog it of as their own knowledge.
Take away the choice that the information has already been written and learnt for you...it would force people to actually go out and study the relevant topic.

It was like when i was at school we studied world war 2! dont ask me why, would have preferred to leant about the ancients or something else but alas...! anyways point being, we had to watch documentaries, read books, goto trenches, museums blah blah woof woof!...so for me to pass history i had to absorb all the info and write it all by hand!

Now...if i was at school and i had to do WW2...i would just go straight to google...cut & paste and BAM! essay done...by someone else thank you very much! now i can go kick it with my friends...

But not everyone is like that...but so many people are!

And i agree, parents are also to blame, but then again so is western culture and the pressures of money! There is so much actually thinking about it and i could write a million words about the whole thing, as probably you could...but you must know that even with wikipedia and the likes there is a curse with every gift!
