Hello!
We have made a great many additions to our SchoolGenius website. In the spirit of our motto, "where genius is nourished not just born", we have added many stories and links about people who were considered failures and became successful.
My favorite was a movie that my wife and I watched called Gifted Hands. It is the story of Ben Carson who was considered by his classmates, his teacher and himself, a failure. Ben went on to overcome this viewpoint and at age 32, he became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the world-famous, John Hopkin's Hospital in Baltimore.
That is success and the movie is wonderfully insprining! If Ben can do it, maybe so can YOU!
So please checkout Ben's story and that of many others considered failures at SchoolGenius.com.
I believe YOU TOO will be inspired by their stories!

School Genius is for students who secretly would like to be one for a change, parents who would like their kids to attain such a lofty goal, and retired [okay even in-service] teachers who would like to enjoy and share their joys, lesson plans, stories and just plain fun. We also want to seriously give some of the GREATEST POINTERS ON the WEB on how to GET BETTER AT SCHOOL STUFF!
Intelligent Life
The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. - Thomas Edison"The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us." Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson)

The Other Side. Is Evolution a New Religion?
Education?
Isn't an important element of education to hear BOTH SIDES of an argument and then select what you believe is most accurate?
Or have we degraded to the evolution religionists who COVER THEIR EARS and DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN to anything else except what they have been taught?
Could CENSORSHIP be leveled against the adamant evolutionist community? What else explains their lack of listening to the other side? Do they want to protect impressionable minds from being deluded? Or do they want to delude impressionable minds?
Is Education what it was intended to be or has it become a religion?
I present here some links to Intelligent Design websites. I do so only because EVERYONE is taught about Evolution but FEW if any are ALLOWED to TEACH about the ideas about Intelligent Design.
Doesn't it strike you as odd, that scientists, and quasi-scientists like Dawkins DO NOT WANT to ALLOW ID to be presented alongside evolution??
If Evolution is purely science, should it not stand up to the questions and "but's" that intelligent people have raised about it?

Intelligent Design is simply the idea that there is so much order and complexity in the universe of life that it is possible that life shows a design not simply an accident.
I can not as a former teacher agree that evolution is all about science. I have heard Duane Gish at McMaster University present ONLY SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS THAT SEEM TO BE A REAL PROBLEM TO EVOLUTION. He DID NOT MENTION RELIGION ONCE!
But as soon as questions were allowed, ALL OF THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST HIS QUESTIONS assumed that he mentioned religion. HE DID NOT.
NOT ONE of these objectors EVEN ATTEMPTED to answer the questions that HE RAISED in the presentation.
There was so much blindness, seemingly lack of paying attention to what he said, that it was shocking to me.
How in a university community could people who want their students to LISTEN carefully present such a poor example of LISTENING???
The only reasonable answer can be that there is such a prejudice and bias AGAINST religion that many think they hear "religion" when NONE is ever mentioned.
That is why the other side should be aired. Some are blind to anything except what they believe. If Galileo or Copernicus were in that lecture hall in a time warp going back 500 years or more would these same people who did not hear Mr. Gish also not have heard Galileo or Copernicus?
Unfortunately I see the same lack of listening on the part of many evolutionists.
So if you are open-minded at all, please at least look at the other side.

Many of these articles are from newsletters that are sent to me. I include them because they are informative. I leave everything the same except the blurb at the bottom which was directed to me.
