Intellectual dishonesty

Academic Dishonesty In technically terms I have been academically dishonest on numerous occasions. Most of these being in high school. These instances have been mostly within my group of friends who are pressured by our parents to do as best we can in school. Our group had different specialties in which people would say we were complete “nerds” in. Since we were in similar classes and had our different specialties we would use each other as resources while doing assignments. Sometimes it was as simple as asking a question. But, sometimes we would copy certain questions off of each other in different subjects. This would be known as academic dishonestly. Though our group were considered very good kids and we were all well known and liked with our teachers. I honestly don’t think our teachers would have reported us if they caught us copying off of each other. There was a time that we were caught and that teacher thought nothing of it. The teacher thought we were just collaborating and thought of it as fine. These were mostly my instances of academic dishonest, but there was one other time where I did knowingly cheat to get a better grade. In my 10th Grade year I was taking AP United States History were our class was very rigorous.…

He encourages me and sometimes even pressures me to obtain the highest form of “book smart” while using my observations of street smarts from him. Therefore, I agree to the extent that schools should incorporate the students’ passions into scholarly subjects to help transition the “rudiments of the intellectual life” within the main subjects in school, but not with his idea about “developing classroom units on sports, cars, fashions, rap music, and other such topics,” (Graff, 64). Schools should…

People have one or many types of intellectual knowledge on a topic and/or subject that's interesting to them, driving them to intake and learn as much information as possible. However, at the end of the day, those people discovering their interests often use it to benefit themselves, motivate and teach others, or even debate. English Professor at University of Illinois and coauthor of "Hidden Intellectualism", Gerald Graff, uses sports and his childhood to illustrate how street smart is much…

What does anti-intellectualism mean? The meaning of anti-intellectualism is very vast but we can simplify that anti-intellectualism is hostility or oppose to intellectual people or matters. As a clear example for that is when standardized tests allow students to be or not to be in some educational spots or positions. For instance, some engineering colleges require high scores in SAT or ACT that just about math and vocabs, which is inaccurate for judging students education. Why is education very…

the mask of normal discussions about sports, soap operas, and fashion, among others. Most students harbor intellectual resources that go untapped by formal schooling. According to Graff, book smarts may take various forms and hide in what is commonly referred to as “street smarts”, hence the phrase “hidden” intellectualism (Cooke, 2013). For this…

Graff then reveals the logical conclusion behind his adolescent story, “I see now that in the interminable analysis of sports teams, movies, and toughness…I was practicing being an intellectual before I knew that was what I wanted to be” (383). Through the analysis of street smart subjects, Graff discovers the basics of critical thinking. Thus, Graff is living proof that street smarts have intellectual depth. This in turn, reinforces the reader’s earlier insights and solidifies Graff’s argument…

subject is just as academic. I agree with Graff’s main point, however, I take umbrage with small details used in the essay. In any other world of that has interests or hobbies, that specific brand of intellectualism is just as important as academic intellectualism. Graff writes that colleges and schools argue that subjects that are not inherently weighty and academic are not worth improving our intellects: “We assume that it’s possible to wax intellectual about Plato,…
