From Home

Sorry I missed guys, I had a family obligation. I know that I missed a great demonstration and I wish I hadn't. I did have a pretty interesting discussion about the way intelligence was thought of in the past versus what it is thought of at this time and the way that the intelligence tests haven't changed, or at least the ones that are most often used.

In the reading I was most disturbed by the hereditary factor that went into the theory of measurable intelligence from the very beginning. It's scary how much prejudice and elitism helped to develop these tests that we still give our students today.

I was hoping someone could help me out with a sentence in the text that I couldn't wrap my head around "If context mattered in learning, then the method needed to assess the strength of an association within a context was to be found in the degree to which a stimulus, such as an examination, produced responses that correlated with the outcome, such as performance in English." I think I understand what it means, but I can't seem to restate it in my own words, which, to me, means I sort of understand it, but not really.
