Do you agree?

Question

A teacher once told us that all of us are born equally able. its only the amount of hard work and sincerity we put in that decides our future.

Answer 1

No, I do not agree with that statement and the teacher was wrong to say it. You do not make such statements to young impressionalble children. Each infant is born with certain levels of intelligence, emotionality, gifts and personality traits. In a perfect enviroment a child would have all his/her positive traits nurtured and developed to a fine shine, while the negitive qualities would be encouraged to a level of least impact. However, in the real world, children are raised in diverse enviroments. With a the percentage of dysfunction to one degree or another within families at about 95% of families each child is not going to have an equal ability to hone abilities, skills, gifts and positive personality traits. Take into account the diverse ecconomic enviroments in todays world and you have a tremendous lack of resourses to assist children with a natural high degree of intelligence and gifts with ability to develop them properly or to acheive all their possibilities in life. Poverty is rampat in this country, with 200 million families living below the poverty level. When families are struggling just to put a roof over head and food on the table each month and nothing is left over at the end of the pay period, the children will not receive the benifit of classes and activities as well as other opportunities only those families with money over and above meeting neccessities can provide their children.

A mind IS a terriable thing to waste. As are gifts children are born with that are unable to be developed due to a lack of financial ability to provide the extra items the child needs to build on those gifts of which a high level of inteligence is one.

My chidren were born with various gifts I was unable to nurture and assist them in developing due to a lack of financial ability. I look back on their childhoods and see how different their lives could be today if we had been able to provide them the resourses needed to nurture and develop those gifts. I am very sad that I was unable to provide them with more than the neccessities of life.

So, no, each child is not only not born equaly able as but also are not equally provided what is needed to nurture and develop those gifts they are born with. That teacher was very wrong and mislead children into a belief if they did not acheive a level as a child who was both born with higher abilities in certain areas or finacially able to attain the resourses needed to nurture and develop those gift they are born with.

My step daughter was born with retardation. How is she equally equiped from birth as a child who was born with a very high level of intelligence? She isn't, it is that simple. To say she failed to achieve is ludicrous. She has acheived highly in life according to her levels and gifts, yet her acheivements can not equal those who were born with high intelligence and to a family with the financial resourses to attain the resourses needed to nurture and develope those gifts during childhood and college years.

So, no I do not agree with that statement at all. How silly to make such a statement and how much damage was done to the chidren this teacher is making this statement to. This teacher should NOT be teaching children, period.

Answer 2

Totally incorrect!! Certainly hard work and sincerity do in many ways determine our future success. However, we are not all born with the same abilities!! Mentally challenged individuals do not have the same innate ability that others do. Further, there are very highly gifted and intelligent individuals whose intelligence and abilities are far above the average person like you and me.

One of the problems in education today is that horrible "feel good" philosophy, namely that if we only make students feel good, they will succeed. What nonsense!! That philosophy has made middle schools the biggest failure in education. Frankly, it is plain lying to both the kids and their parents. No wonder when the truth be known, so many do not trust the public schools!!

Theoretically you would think that is correct, but we are not all born equally able. What about people born with autism? What about people born without limbs or some other disfigurement that would hamper them? On top of that, you really do need to take in social status. Someone born in a higher social status will have an easier time than someone born in a low social status, that is not equal. Also, considering where you are born matters. Someone born in a developed country has more more potential and it is easier for them than someone born in an undeveloped country. People are not born equally.

Answer 5

I totally disagree. We are all born differently with different situations, talents and sometimes disabilities.

For example someone born to a wealthy family will have a lot more opportunities than a child born to a single mother in a low income neighborhood.

Answer 6

To an extent. I know that if I were born exactly in the same situation as I was, but in Central Africa, I would not be where I am today, regardless of how hard I have worked.

Answer 7

imagine asking this question to a child in Africa. Can he say '' Oh yes, for example I want to be a world-wide stilist but I must work hard. After I finish high school, I want to go college to study fashion.... but now I need to find something to eat or I am going to die.Oh sorry, in fact i will definitely be death in a few years because of AIDS''

Answer 8

what about people born with learning disabilities? Plus, face it, some people just aren't very smart and never will be. So I tend to disagree...some of us are born with more ability to be prosperous in our lives then others whether we work harder or not.

Answer 9

I agree with you. We all should educate ourselves in schooling by leaning towards what your strengths are. Everyone has something that they are the best at and should concentrate their energies towards that goal in a related field of study.

Answer 10

I completely believe that, with the exception that some times people just get a lucky break.
