I can't be racist because I like Little Anthony songschildren that read while young get many benefitsYour refusal to acknowledge education as a way to get smarter is also part of the problem.The brain is like a muscle, if you don't exercise it, it stagnates. People don't become strong by sitting around and hoping for evolution to give them bigger muscles, they go out there and challenge themselves physically to get the job done. It's the same with the brain, you need to work it to make it stronger...
When I was growing up some of the strongest people I knew were country boys from the south who never lifted a weight in the life. Rather, their daily life was such that it built their muscles, without the need of a gym. Schools are like Gyms in that they are places designed to exercise the brain, but a person would be naive to believe that school is the only place a persons mind is challenged to think.
Keep in mind also all the inventions that came from people who were not well educated.....but tinkerers.
People Who Changed the World – Without Formal Education
So tell us, how many tinkerers have made it into space?
Smart is a metric of knowledge, not necessarily intelligence. I mean, when a person is born they are already wired for genetically for intelligence...but they are not very smart because they have no knowledge or learning. Also, I never stated that education was not a way to get smarter. Nothing I said states or infers that but your intelligence level will impact your ability to comprehend what I said. I inferred that formal education is not the only or exclusive means to exercise your brain. Anytime you try to figure something out.....you are exercising your brain. Taking what you know and using it to figure out what you don't know is intelligence, as well as pattern recognition.

..now imagine the opposite:
a family with a tense atmosphere/they do not teach the kids to read/math
the child doesn't get the right amount or the right food
--most likely you looking at a very retarded teen and then adult --an angry teen/adult
I am going to ignore all your subsequent post until you go back and answer the seed question to determine whether you are racist or not.
we've already proven you are the racist --not me--remember??
you called me a racist without evidence meaning you believe based on no evidence/facts...you even admitted it
