The beginning of the video as she’s describing intelligence and the lack thereof is slightly insulting, as it seems to be linking the factors of intelligence and the factors of low IQ to privilege. After getting over the speaker’s possible underlying bias, there are good points made about teaching abstractions and reflections in the end that should prove useful to teaching students of all intelligences.
