> Mumba! Why didn't you read Adok's tutorial?
> Sir, the crocodile crunched my OLPC, Sir :(((

Wait a minute. They haven't made an OLPC in snake or croc skin with lots of bling on it ? How is Paris Hilton supposed to learn how to read ?

blala: Now have a try. Do you have elementary school children in your family or among your friends? Hungarians are considered intelligent people in Europe. But to make it understandable for elementary school children, you should translate the tutorial to the Hungarian language. We could then publish the tutorial next to the English and German versions at my homepage. I'm looking forward to your reports!

eye: A child aged 5 has about 50 % of its final intelligence level. With 8 years it's 80 %. The earlier we show the children the path to problem solving (and programming is problem solving), the better we can boost their intelligence.

adok: instead of trying to teach children what you think you should have learned at school, maybe you should try to teach yourself what you failed to learn at school. Hint: it has nothing to do with maths, programming or any other subject taught in classes.

rmeht: By support it's possible to make children not have any problems at school. This will make them enjoy attending school. That's an aspect where a happy childhood can be encouraged.

p01: I like Paris Hilton. She is a beautiful, intelligent woman, and don't forget: The highest art is the art of making money. And she masters this art.

psonice: You're absolutely right. One of the aims of school is socialization, adapting children to the needs of society. One mistake schools often make is that they do not adapt to the needs of the children.

adok: which people in europe are considered stupid ?

wtf?

When I was very young there was a magazine in Germany which was created by the readers themselves. It was called PC-Heimwerker. This was a very clever institution. I was fascinated that there were so many young people who wanted to learn more than they did at school. Society should fully support the children's striving for knowledge.

Zest: The French also belong to the intelligent people. :)

Zest: That was a perhaps slightly inept attempt at motivating blala more strongly. :)

How about a translation to French? Mon ami!

don't evade the question, if there are intelligent people then there are stupid ones.

Zest: We want to achieve that the children become more intelligent than their parents. What's bad about that?

How about a French translation of the Creative Basic tutorial for elementary school children?

J'ai appris francais à l'école et ca n'etait pas mauvais pour mon developpement intellectuelle.

what's the interest of gaining a few years of training ahead if they end up labelled as social outcasts their whole lives ?

amazing how this entire page of "answers" solely consist of avoiding questions and regurgitating the same 2-3 lines of faux-optimistic propaganda... almost like reading a political debate's transcript, really :)

gargaj: going by his total failure to understand our replies, I'd put his IQ at under 100. Even the trolley pushers at my local supermarket would understand what people are saying here!

Adok, what the fuck are you talking about? Reading comprehesion ftw...

By the way, hungarian people, exactly like all the other people, are either incredibly stupid, or not. The former is more common, though.

psonice: i was afraid of that observation; i mean, if you think about it, it must be pretty hard to cope with that... i mean think about how out of place he must feel.

Haha, Gargaj has teh leading!

BTW, if you assume the numbers which Adok has supplied are from his own experience,

50% ~= age 5
80% ~= age 8

=> Adok considers himself approximately the intelligence of a 10-year-old.

Zest: On the contrary, they will have an advantage throughout their lives.

eye: Except that Adok is in Mensa. He must be at least as intelligent as an 11yo

348 posts ?!? hehe :DD
