If there's going to be an SAT, it's probably practical to invest in a book or perhaps in a course, but I'm sorry to say, I went to some classes that my kids took and it was clear in school that what they were doing was just SAT training.

Success in life does not necessarily originate with academic success.

Current intelligence-testing practices require examinees to answer but not to pose questions. In requiring only the answering of questions, these tests are missing a vital half of intelligence- the asking of questions.

The essence of intelligence would seem to be in knowing when to think and act quickly, and knowing when to think and act slowly.

And in order to succeed in later life, you need creative skills because look at how fast the world is changing.

In other words, if a teacher only teaches in one way, then they conclude that the kids who can't learn well that way don't have the ability, when, in fact, it may be that the way the teacher's teaching is not a particularly good match to the way those kids learn.

There is no recipe to be a great teacher, that's what is unique about them.
