by teachers helping, it shows love. That love closely relates to the parents’ role in child development. In addition, the child is with the teacher for the majority of the day. How the teacher and the child interact is a decisive factor in that child’s intelligence.In addition to the teacher’s nature, the classes the teacher teaches takes a part in developing intelligence. Throughout one’s entire school career, the courses taken get more rigorous as one goes on. That should mean that when they finish their schooling, their intelligence should be at it’s highest. Pintner agrees when he stated “While schooling, the harder the courses taken are responsible for higher intelligence” (273). So why does not everyone just keep going to school so that everyone becomes a genius? That assumption only works in a fantasy world, because “the older you get the dumber or lower your I.Q. tends to be” (Pintner 307). This happens because with old age comes a lack of keen mental ability. This is seen in a familiar situation today. Take for instance elderly drivers, their ability is lacking in the their reflexes. This shows that when you increase in age things aren’t as good as they once were.When one speaks about the topic of intelligence a question surfaces, that question is, are whites smarter than blacks? “ “Race” and “I.Q.” are terms which seemingly posses a clear and well defined meaning for millions of people” (Montague 1). When these two words are combined into “Race I.Q.” it causes people to do things they normally would not. A case in point, if one questions race I.Q. what keeps him from not questioning race-abilities and other items. So he tries avoiding the issue waiting for the topic to be dropped or changed. He avoids the issue so he is not considered a racist. The best thing to do would be to quit categorizing individual...
