​Yоung children dо nоt function well in common test situаtions.

Bоnus/Alternаtive: In оur reаding оn Judgment (Mаritain), it was argued that 'judgment' is the highest act of human intellect, and thus arguably of the human being as an agent of action. If judgment is the highest rational act of a human being, where truth is encountered and known and called by name, then I ask: why do I get more pleasure from a student who attempts an answer to Options B, C, and D above, even if those answers are flawed, than if I were to get textbook answers to option A (demonstrating a student's total intellection/comprehension of the truth contained in the books we have read this semester)?  What is revealed from this truth of professorial experience? Students may spend their time answering this question and, if they do so in a sustained and lengthy manner, articulating their response using readings from throughout the semester, they may substitute this essay to replace both of the essays above.  However, students choosing this route should be forewarned that a successful answer to this question would be, if done well, as laborious as both essays and cover much of the same material.   Or, alternatively, students may write a few sentences guessing at what might be lying behind the phenomenon for 5 points bonus if they chose to answer the other two essays already.
