Professional studies and STEM have been dumbed down by Universities and the quality of education. They'd be better off in an apprenticeship.
The idea that your individual intelligence is fixed is a farce. You can learn how to think, especially as a child. Logic and Critical Thinking are skills that are intentionally not taught at school. The problem is nobody is reaching their full potential anymore, even if those potentials vary. The floor would be a lot higher if we were.
Norwegian schools might be less fucked than american schools, but I have largely good experiences with STEM and professional studies.
I disagree, I believe IQ to be atleast partially genetic and it has extreme impact on individuals. You are however probably correct about that learning to think, logic and critical thinking are crucial to have a healthy mind.
There is a large amount of people who have a higher than average IQ but they are still not that smart. 100 IQ is just average.
You don't need to be smart to memorize.
The problem isn't the intelligence level, it's the education plain and simple.You can only learn what they teach you.
I both agree and disagree. Education doesnt really matter outside professional studies and STEM.
I have far more respect for fishermen, farmers, nurses than a random dude with 5 years of educational crap.
On the other hand i do believe iq matter å lot. It is not everything, but it raises your potential.
