Part 3
Do you think children are born smart or do they learn to become smart?
In my opinion, smartness is an attribute that one acquires with experience.
An individual can
indeed have hereditary abilities that make them brighter than the average person. For
example, when examined, Albert Einstein’s br
ain was said to be younger than the average
person’s brain at the age of his death. Nevertheless, a person can be extremely intelligent and
lack common sense at the same time. Thus, even if a person is born with a sharp mind, prudent
decisions can only be made with experience and wisdom.
How do children become smart at school?
Children are known to be easily influenced by their surroundings. They adopt habits that they
find to be intriguing and follow in the footsteps of their idols and peers alike. If a child is
surrounded by friends and teachers who are brainy
and sharp-witted, the cognitive
development of that student is imminent. Similarly, it is an observable fact that being in the
company of dull and incompetent peers makes a person ignorant as well. Thus, it can be
assumed that if a child is blessed with skilful teachers and a bright group of friends, they tend
to become smart themselves.
