Ishan:It is actually possible. Lets take the word drudgery. How much logical thinking we put when we learned this word for the first time? Contextual learning and pnemonics are just forms of memorizing.
It is possible, thats why i said it is one of the two ways. to learn contextually, one has to read a lot of material that presents new words every day. It is not possible to prepare for spllingBee using that route because it will take too longer. So they use the otherway, that is, going by the word origins and roots.
Ishan:it would suffice to excel in regular academics and indulging in productive and enjoyable extracurricular activities. I personally don't see any advantage in becoming geniuses at such early ages. aa agelo cheyyalsina panlu aa age lo cheyyali...adi naa bottom line.
who are we to say that.. we dont tell a violin prodigy that it is suffice to do just homework, do we. it is the same way. some are violin prodigies and others are linguistic prodigies. as for the age, adults do not become spelling bees. the brains may not be flexible enough to do some things. let me give an example, from my one experience. when i was in 4th class, once my uncle took me to a telugu movie, Prema Nagar, enroute to my home from my grandparents home during holidays. when i reached home, my mother asked me about the movie. I recanted the whole movie for 2 hours. almost every scene in the same order. can I do that now, absolutely no. same way, the kids brains are voracious consumers of information. if you feed it enough it will expand a lot and grow a lot of circuits. which will help in later walks of life.

Desparado:.they are gifted..
I have no doubt they are gifted. But the point here is, will the spelling bee competition makes them smarter than they are by improving analytical capabilities? on the other hand, would they have to work so hard if they are really gifted?  |

Entikaburlu:A word has to be learnt either through context as part of a reading activity, or as a part of a logical knowledge graph.
Entikaburlu: it is just not possible to improve vocab by drudgery.
It is actually possible. Lets take the word drudgery. How much logical thinking we put when we learned this word for the first time? Contextual learning and pnemonics are just forms of memorizing. Entikaburlu: now take a doctor. he does exactly the same. take a stock trader. he does the same. take number scientist. for example ramanujam has a huge knowledge graph of numbers in his brain. you tell him a taxi# he tells the whole "science" of that number. he does the same. the spelling bees accomplish that at a very young age.
You went too far here. To become a good doctor or scientist, it would suffice to excel in regular academics and indulging in productive and enjoyable extracurricular activities. I personally don't see any advantage in becoming geniuses at such early ages. aa agelo cheyyalsina panlu aa age lo cheyyali...adi naa bottom line. |

"The SAT scores are just one part of the application. Perfect 800s don't guarantee admission if other parts of your application are weak. Admissions officers will also want to see a strong academic record, a winning essay, meaningful extracurricular activities and good letters of recommendation. Also, if you are an out-of-state applicant, you may need to have scores significantly higher than those shown here. Most state-funded universities give preference to in-state applicants" http://collegeapps.about.com/od/sat/a/SAT_Public_Univ.htm What counts as extracurricular activity for college admission? http://collegeapps.about.com/od/theartofgettingaccepted/f/wh at-is-an-extracurricular-activity.htm |

Bushu:so your college application stands out
extra curriculars as college entry criteria is vastly over emphasized by indian parents and they make such big deal about them. in reality what mostly happens are grades scores essay and recommendations. having not gone through the college eductaion themselves here, they vastly overemphasize various things. this is one of them.

Oohlala:Piano seems to be another popular thing for kids here, any specific reason?
music, like language opens up a lot of mental facilities which we other wise do not get to develop. learning music makes you a great person, teaches you harmony, skill of listening, ability to search for patterns, memory, recall etc. piano also improves dexterity and motor skills. foot-hand-mind-eye coordination.

it is about finding a niche area that many others dont do - so your college application stands out. many chinese kids go for Cello simply because many others do not do Cello. Piano has been overly done already. balupu s/o gelupu |

Ishan:Obviously you are confused between vocabulary with language. Etymological based learning of words has 'little' to do with development of IQ. But learning language improves cognitive abilities because your brain has several resources to organize the thought process. Your so called 'analytical' capability involved in spelling bee helps kids only to certain level, the level which is very quickly reached during the preparation process. Any work beyond that point is pure drudgery and there is nothing 'amazing' in that. Exposure to multiple aspects/facets of life is important for kids for proper development of cognitive abilities.
firstly I did not use the word IQ. secondly, it is just not possible to improve vocab by drudgery. if you have prepared for GRE/GMAT you would experience it. A word has to be learnt either through context as part of a reading activity, or as a part of a logical knowledge graph. the spelling bees do not cram words. they try to program their brain with a knowledge graph. every day they insert new nodes in to that graph and carefully nurture it. that is the training. now take a doctor. he does exactly the same. take a stock trader. he does the same. take number scientist. for example ramanujam has a huge knowledge graph of numbers in his brain. you tell him a taxi# he tells the whole "science" of that number. he does the same. the spelling bees accomplish that at a very young age. it is just not possible to store all words in the brain like a database table. brain works like a network. not like a table. to store data into brain, you need to feed a network.

I beg to differ bhayya....if u look at the profiles of kids who win Spelling bee...they are gifted...and mutifaceted....mostof them either have contested/won maths olympiads/science olypiyads....or they are into lot of other cocurricular activites....which need innate talent.... my point here is jst having a good memory or mugging words is not a prerequiste...they are naturally brilliant anukunta |

Bushu:naah. it gives a certain thought process and attention to words in general improves their comprehension abilities. they may not be comprable to the intel science scholars but all that focus on etymology will improve their thinking. and all that study time greatly helps in focus. all those kids who compete four times in a row I think it's a bit too much. appatiki it becomes a matter of pride. useless.
Improvement of comprehension abilities is only to an extent. To achieve that objective, children dont have to go to 'that' extent. Getting A plus grades in language classes would do it. I agree with the focus part. It might improve the concentration but again, its definitely not worth that kind of work - I have seen kids falling on the stage coz of the stress. Entikaburlu:totally wrong. every word has a history behind it. words are nodes in a knowldge graph. they are related through root words and etymological bases. these spelling bees manytimes visualize that entire graph in their mind before they attempt the spelling. you can watch the competiion to understand their thought process. to train the mind to have such analytical capability is just spellbinding. amazing. the human reaches the cognitive peak by 17-19 years. what you watch here are the precocious genius who attain that peak very early around 10 and continue to improve.

Bushu:naah. it gives a certain thought process and attention to words in general improves their comprehension abilities. they may not be comprable to the intel science scholars but all that focus on etymology will improve their thinking. and all that study time greatly helps in focus. all those kids who compete four times in a row I think it's a bit too much. appatiki it becomes a matter of pride. useless.

Mrhyderabad:how does this spelling contest help kids
language and linguistic ability is directly proportional to the cognitive capability. this is the reason US Universities put so much importance on writing an essay for admission into a school. spelling bee kids do extremely well in school and later on. my daughter went upto county level. beyind that it takes a lot of practice like chess.

hyder it is just that it is one of the options to keep the brain busy when it is in its best phase of life i might be wrong but i dont think current gen indian parents in usa put pressure on kids to win these competitions..all they do is to organize their learning mana skill set nee develop chesukuntunaam aa age kee it is tough to imagine a desi kid getting ready to play line backer in football...OTOH an american parent does exactly the same (providing facilities) if he thinks a sports career is on the line for his kid both are better than mimicking reality TV Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,Humpty Dumpty had a great fall |

how does this spelling contest help kids? i can understand some benefits of it but does it really worth the effort that parents/kids put in..esp desi parents i am sure many desi/chinki parents put lot of pressure on kids to win in these contests. Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein |
