I am doing a homework assignment where the questions are based on the movie Stand and Deliver.
The question that I must answer deals with a quote from the movie where the vice princapal stated that depending on your econmic status depends on your intellegence. I have to prove that if you are poor doesnt mean that you are stupid. And name two people in history who are good examples to make valid argument
Below is what I have so far
I completely disagree with the statement that was made by the female vice principal during the faculty meeting. Basically, she was implying that a student’s intelligence is based on the economic status of the community they live in. Breaking it down to even more into simpler terms, she was saying if you are poor then you are considered stupid. This statement is incorrect because there are many people in the world today who have been raised in poverty but still managed to have a good head on their shoulders.

Try Abraham Lincoln as an example! Terribly poor as a child, but all would agree an extremely intelligent man.
I also grew up poor, but am currently working on my Master's degree....

Abraham Lincoln, Oprah, there are many more. ~Also, I would recommend not using the word "basically," I had a teacher once that absolutely hated that word, so there might be others~

John Johnson, the now deceased founder of Ebony and Jet. His story is amazing. I'm sure your local bookstore or library has it.
