Give me facts the support this statement .Grades do not reflect how smart a person is but how hard they work.?

Question

facts please

at least 3

it doesnt matter how many but 3 would be helpful

Answer 1

False because people have different learning styles, I have gone to three high schools. Each one was the same material but different teachers, students and environment so the teaching style was different at all 3. In one of the high school's I was in the top of the class because they taught it slower and made sure everyone understand. In the fast paced school, which sucks because I am there now, I am doing pretty bad. And in the other one, I did average.

Answer 2

Well. I guess my best example would be and my classes.

Fact 1. You can be average at a class but if you do the work you get good grades.

True! I'm only ok at Algebra but I get A's because homework is a big thing in my class. And my teacher says if we just did it we get the points because we tried. And she'll help us out if we got a lot wrong.

Fact 2. You can know everything in a class but get bad grades because you didn't do the homework.

True! I've got English knocked down. I know everything. My grammar is excellent. But I was too lazy to do homework so I got c's. The only thing that kept me from failing grades were the tests.

Fact 3. You can have the perfect potential to be a good student but decide that you're good at nothing so you're suddenly trash that won't go to college so why bother doing anything or paying attention? Then, you become a bad student because you don't work at all.

So freaking true it makes my eyes bleed.

Answer 3

i hate to say it but there is some truth to it. here is one example.

my friend's brother had around a 2.0 gpa throughout high school, but this was just because of his laziness, he was actually very smart. he pulled off an excellent SAT score and college essay that landed him into DU, one of the higher end colleges of colorado.

Answer 4

Only 2 facts sorry, but I had horrible grades in school but my IQ is 136 and Einstein flunked out of school.  

Answer 5

The instrinsic ability to pursue our dreams and make it big has never been defined by a culmination of high-standard results. Translated, that gives way to saying what you collect in an educational institution never has and never will guarantee - in definition - success, unless you count the high grades themselves as some form of success.

A highly academically-inclined mind may be brilliant on paper but in due course can be shown to have weak determination, a lack of ambition and pride from attaining positive results that is enough to drive any prospects off the cliff. Also, have you ever considered the fact that if you say you have to be smart in school to get somewhere in life, you are condeming all those who have never had the chance to attend school to streetdom or like? While it may be true that the chances of success of a school student would be significantly higher than that who comes from a low-end family, this is purely because of the exposure to social networking and the opening of the mind and has nothing to do with how smart the person is. On the basis of ethics, suggesting that the less fortunate will remain less fortunate forever is worthy of sharp criticism, or perhaps unworthy of being entertained by anyone who understand how the world works.

You want the facts?

1) Yataro Iwasaki; born in a poor family tending to farms, disgraced because of debts and stripped of the Samurai status. Ran away to Tokyo and returned later on with a view of the industrial system. Went on to found the Mitsubishi congolmerate. In 1995 Mitsubishi was one of the top 10 richest companies in the world.

2) Gordon Ramsay's father never had a stable job and the family kept moving from place to place without much to bank on. After being seriously injured that ended his football career, he shifted his focus to the culinary sector. Today he is worth about 60 million pounds, twice more than his nearest rival.

3) Frank Woolworth was also the son of a farmer. He moved out and got a job at a merchant's store, working for free becuase the owner remarked, 'why should I pay you to learn business?' After noticing the many 5 cent items leftover, Woolworths opened his first store, which failed. He next two stores also failed, yet at the time of his death Frank was estimated to have left behind a fortune of $20m+.

Some news for you, btw:

Bill Gates, ex-CEO Microsoft

Michael Dell, CEO Dell

Enzo Ferrari, ex-CEO Ferrari

Ted Turner, CEO CNN

...never finished college.

All that these people had in common is a dream, perseverance, dedication, a firm-head and a penchant for WORKING SMART (not just working hard, though both are equally important.) However as stated, getting great grades do not reflect how street-smart or business-smart or any other form of expendible intelligence someone has. It just means they're good at school.

If you want to make it big, follow this motto:

'Powered by knowledge, driven by passion.'

Hope it helps.  

Answer 6

i think the answer lies in how you define "smart"-information stored in a persons brain is not smart-he/she is not smart in my opinion until they use the knowledge to solve a problem, articulate an idea, etc. this involves the ability to APPLY knowledge  and more specifically to identify relationships between things.

for example, someone is a chemical wiz-they know everything about chemistry. so what? but, when they apply that to how cells function in the human body and develop a cure for cancer... now they are smart.

to answer the question, most grading schemes include

1. ability to memorize information

2. discipline to complete assignments on time

3. ability to learn based on the instructors teaching style

4 ability to learn certain information within a specified time frame

5. the measurment of ones knowledge through limited testing scenarios is highly subjective in many cases, and can not always measure ones true knowledge of a subject (one question wrong on a 5 question test is 80%-a low B or C

these are good traits but not a measure of intelligence overall.

Answer 7

I didn't do the homework in my math class.  I aced all the tests.  I failed the class.  

Answer 8

Grades Do NOT reflect how smart a person is.

1. A person can be very smart and oh so very lazy just as such.

2. a person can be smart but can be going through a tough time.

3. a person can be smart yet distracted or even having a hard time understanding.

- hope this helps.

good luck,.

Answer 9

Grades don't necessarily reflect how smart a person is or how hard they work. I think it's more a combination of the two. I have no facts, but examples...

I learn things quickly, and everyone says I'm smart, I never studied in high school or college, and graduated high school with a 4.3 and college with a 3.3.

My little sister doesn't pick things up so quickly. She studies HARD, like all the time, and she graduated high school with about a 3.5.

Her twin doesn't pick things up so quickly either. She, however, is like me in that she never studies. And she graduated high school with about a 3.0.

So granted, we all had pretty good GPA's, it didn't necessarily depend strictly on how smart we were, or how hard we worked, but a combination of the two. Make sense?
