what can make you smarter?

Question

except school..

Answer 1

Read! Doesn't matter what genre. Find something you enjoy or are interested in and read about it. My best students are curious and know how to find out what they want to know. Also, get enough sleep and eat as well as you can so that your body can concentrate on more than your basic needs. Lastly, open yourself up to new experiences. The more places you go, the more people you meet, the more you will learn about yourself and others.

Answer 2

Have these people that think school is essential to make one smarter attended one for a long period of time? They tend to drain your brain more than anything! Usually a school is just a building with a person that may, and often may not be, an expert in a subject trying to teach you something about the subject. Often they tend to lecture at you for too long: I've had 2 and 3 hour long classes which are definitely too long! And they are not interactive enough they just tend to drone on and on, lecture-style, not the best way for some of us to learn.

I've learned most of what I've learned in life by reading books, writing, asking questions of others, solving problems, nature, nature study, using the computer, and teaching others how to do things. I think I've probably learned only about 10% of what I know at school and the rest from life.

Answer 3

Except school? How about building your brain power through puzzles, reading, etc. (Guess that's sort of school, too). You can also become "smarter" by listening to intelligent people.

Answer 4

Being breastfed as a baby for two years can make a child a lot smarter than being bottle fed as well as help build the immune system and not make the baby as sick as a bottle fed baby.

Answer 5

School will NOT make you smarter. Time and experience will make you smarter if you learn from either. Specialized fields like medicine require schooling but great thinkers, philosophers, authors, musicians and inventors were not created through traditional schooling

Answer 6

Studying

Answer 7

Scientifically proven- crossword puzzles. It expands vocabulary, teaches spelling, AND associates it all with patterns. If doesn't even have to be from the New York Times. Even a crossword on celebrities will do the trick.

Answer 8

When you listen to classical music it stimulates the brain. Also you know about the TAKS tests schools give? well.. it turns out that the teachers give pepermint candy before their tests so they can do better on tests. I know because when I worked as a teacher that's what the schools did to acheive higher test scores. Go figure? huh.

Answer 9

Well you could try any of the above but if you want to prove how intelligent you are you need to get some qualifications which means (I am sorry but its true) You need an education. Its never too late to learn

Answer 10

well if you don't go to school then you cant learn from any thing and that wont make you any smarter than you are.
