Nature or Nurture?
Sorry if this has been done before..........
Are kids inherantly 'smart' and good at exams or is it their surroundings and being helped/coached/supported by those around them?
I plump for the latter - when 8 years old I was told I was to the University of my choice - not by parents who were busy out partying but by older brother who really brought me up. At that time I was bottom of the class and more interested in playing football every day for hours on end.
The 'nurture' part changed me.
Thoughts?
