Think about your elementary-school years. Was school hard for you? Do you feel your performance in
school was related to your IQ, how smart you are, or did your environment play a larger role in your
performance? Think about your school, your teachers, how your parents or caregivers approached
school. What rules did they have about homework and free time? Were your parents or caretakers active
in your school? Did they check your work? Did they meet with your teachers? What kind of space did you
have to complete your homework?
