I have 2 sons.Different fathers.
They are both extremely brilliant academically.
1st son never gets below number 3 in class.He is in class 7.Average score is 420 out of 500 always.
2nd son is more brilliant than the 1st.He has never been number 2 in his life.always number 1.Average score is 580 out of 600.
However this is what puzzles me.Father 1 was a below average in class and socially.The only thing that helped him in life is that his folks were loaded...otherwise.....
Father 2 was more daft academically and incoherent socially.
Mother(me) am just an average student and i hate school.Am doing my masters because i have to and i die a thousand deaths when i think of school.
So help me...where did the kids get those brains from?certainly not me nor the fathers.....My family line is not brilliant minded either

Seriously, how did they (especially the later) even "tune" you and most importantly, convince you to have their babies or they are not incoherent in that field? (on a light note... am dead laughing) Anyway, am happy for your kids. Just thank God for them and move on swiftly.....  I am ready to offer myself as daft father no. 3 to test the genes of child no. 3. Thieves

In theory of multiple intelligence, eight abilities are defined, whereas we commonly only look at language or logic: musical - Wolfgang Mozart spatial - Michelangelo verbal - William Shakespeare logical - Albert Einstein bodily - Muhammad Ali interpersonal - Nelson Mandela intrapersonal - Mother Teresa naturalist - Charles Darwin Lastly.. "hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy", so take a day at a time for life is a long journey. jguru wrote:Nature vs Nurture. What determines a child's intelligence? @Tycho, this one is for you to answer.

They are working hard. They must have realised that they simply donot want to repeat the Mistakes of their parents. "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

What determines a child's intelligence? @Tycho, this one is for you to answer. Scientists have tried to explain intelligence for a long long time. Is intelligence determined by HEREDITY or the ENVIRONMENT? "Children who are breastfed during the first six months of life score higher on IQ tests at age 6 than same-age children who were not breastfed." (Environment) "Identical twins will exhibit a similar IQ" (Heredity) I'd say it's a fine balance of both. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.
