It's a lot easier to teach street smarts. If someone isn't very book smart that's tough to fix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68341 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:11:49 +0000 theknest 68341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>street smart for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68308 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:50:41 +0000 chopsuey 68308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Book smart :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68280 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:25:59 +0000 banana 68280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm probably a combination of both (not super smart in one or the other but just average in both). My husband is definitely more book smart than street smart. I hope my son is more street smart than book smart. I think having good instincts is really important for navigating through life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68274 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:20:06 +0000 Rescuemom10 68274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm this is hard to decide. DH is more book smart than I am. Like @TINA said, my DH too actually enjoys school! Ugh!<br /> I think I would prefer more book smart. I HOPE our LO gets that from DH, I mean I always did good in school and what not, but I didnt LOVE it like DH did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68270 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:17:18 +0000 LuLu Mom 68270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say I'm more book smart and DH is more street smart, so it's a good combination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68167 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:57:22 +0000 BoogieBea 68167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH and I are both more street smart and prefer our kids to be the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68150 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:44:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 68150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rob Sr. is definitely more book smart-- he actually likes learning and school. Bleh. ;) I'm more common sense smart. I would prefer RJ to be more book smart... and marry a girl who's common sense smart ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68145 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:40:05 +0000 mrsjyw 68145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more book smart, DH is more street smart. I'd prefer book smart - street smart/common sense I've built over time and experience... I couldn't go back and build book smart from scratch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68144 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:40:05 +0000 BSB 68144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm both. I would prefer to be more street smart then book smart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-68137 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:32:53 +0000 tequiero21 68137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i'm more street smart. my hubby is more book smart. i'd have to say i think i'd prefer more book smart. if you're book smart (with some personality), easier to climb up the ladder. gets your foot in the door. and you know your field very well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-67851 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:13:25 +0000 Rubies 67851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more book smart. I think I'd prefer LO to be book smart, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-67849 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:10:33 +0000 Adira 67849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am more book smart (though I'm not completely un-street smart). So, following in my example, I'd rather my LO be book smart like their mama! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-67845 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:08:10 +0000 heffalump 67845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am more book smart. And I agree, I'd rather LO be street smart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-your-lo-be-book-smart-or-street-smart#post-67842 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:06:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 67842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess street smarts are more important if you could only have one or the other. I wouldn't want my LO not to have common sense about the world, otherwise I'd worry about them nonstop!</p> <p>What about you? Street smart or book smart? And were you more street smart or book smart? (I'd have to say street for me....) </p>
