What Is Usually Called 'intelligence' Refers To The Linguistic And Logical Capacities That Are Valued In Certain Kinds Of School And For Certain School-like Tasks. It Leaves Little If Any Room For Spatial Intelligence, Personal Intelligences, Musical Intelligence, Etc.

I Think That Every Educator, Indeed Every Human Being, Is Concerned With What Is True And What Is Not; What Experiences To Cherish And Which Ones To Avoid; And How Best To Relate To Other Human Beings. We Differ In How Conscious We Are Of These Questions; How Reflective We Are About Our Own Stances; Whether We Are Aware Of How These Human Virtues Are Threatened By Critiques (philosophical, Cultural) And By Technologies (chiefly The Digital Media). A Good Educator Should Help Us All To Navigate Our Way In This Tangled Web Of Virtues.
