Intelligence

What Affects Intelligence

                So basically, the website I was on talk about how genetics and the environment might affect how intelligence a person will be or not. Many studies believe that your genetics have a huge roll on you IQ level no matter where you come, they also believe the type of environment can affect your intelligence to. For example, say you leave in a house and your parent don’t care if you go to school or do good at school. You might not have the best of grades and yours learn level might not be very high at all, but if your environment say has strict parents and they make school the most important thing in your life, you will probably be a lot smart and do better in school or on the IQ test.

                Now when it comes to genetics, you might be born with some learn disable or you might not be able to learn fast, this could all be affected but your genetics. I guess in my opinion this could affect your learning level or your intelligence but at the sometimes I feel like it based on your movement on wanting to learn and want to get smart instead of what you are bored with. Now at the sometime if you have a learning disable, like you can’t read or something of course that’s going to hold you back.

                Intelligence isn’t an easy topic to talk about because there are so many factors that can affect it and it would be hard to come up with a perfect way to fix it. There will never be a perfect way to make people smart and you can never class anyone as being dumb or smart because they might be good at one thing but at another so it’s just a hard topic to read and talk about.

Why College Should Be Free

                So, I need extra credit and decide to talk about “Why College Should Be Free”. So in this essay / Blog I will be talking about it and why I think it should be free for kids to at least get 2 years of free college.

                So, everyone knows that College is super expensive and in my opinion, it should not be so much just to go to college, I’m there are tons of people that won’t even go to college because they’re afraid of having debt and never being able to pay it off. Most kids that go to college end up paying for it for the rest of their lives and do not get to do the things they like because there to busy working to pay off the debt for college, plus they have house bills, car bills, and more with their college debt and loans to pay off. Now, I’m not saying it should be completely free, like they should have to pay for their apartment, books, computers, and whatever else they need but, the actually college itself should be free for students, I feel like they’re would have to be new rules add to this though, like if a student is getting bad grades he should have to pay a fee or something for wasting the colleges time and effort to teach them.

                I feel if college was free that kids would go through it and it would lead to more people being successful and having better lives, even if just two-year colleges were free it would increase more success for kids and more people would have good jobs and it would make life so much easier.

                Now for money I understand it cost a lot for the government to keep a college going but if we just took some of the money from our military and use that for schooling and education it should be enough from people to at least make two-year colleges free and make 4-year college much cheaper for students to join. I know this is easier said than done but this would be a jump for education and it would lead for why more success in the USA and people would be so much happier.

                I could be wrong, and this could be a bad idea, but I feel like it would be a huge step in education and increase people going to college.
