He believes educators should include subjects that interest students and encourage them to view these subjects from an intellectual point of view. He says this will act as a medium to reach higher-level thought processes and help many students to develop intellectual identities they would not with their typical schoolwork. I fully agree with Graff and support his points, as he backs them up with evidence and I have seen them working in the real world, myself. I believe it would benefit many students and even the educators themselves if they read and practiced Graff’s theory. By working with what students are confortable with and like already, teachers could explain concepts more effectively and interest students in new things such as analysis and debate, they would have not otherwise paid any attention
