Microsoft Paint

Microsoft Paint

After watching the presidential debate, people might wonder if the rival candidate will truly accept the winner as his or her president.

What did Trump mean when he said "I'll keep you in suspense!" in the presidential debate in UNLV?

The suspense is over, this Microsoft Paint drawing might be what Trump mean by keeping America in suspense.

As you can see Microsoft Paint is a useful software to draw. Here I drew a tank, a battleship, a jet, and the United States map. But if you are really an artist and have time to be one you can draw something like what they have in this website: MS Paint drawings

You can draw like a first grader.

Good In Programming

Good In Programming

How do you know if you are good in computer programming?

A first grader can tell you the answer. At least the smart first graders who has been programming since day 1 in school -- public, private, or home-school.

The answer is: if in your 10th to 20th programming homework, you are still turning in programs with a bug in it, then you're just not good in writing programs without a bug in it.

Every first grader knows that they won't get a smiley face if they turn in a homework that is not what the teacher expected. So why should an employer or the person who wants to buy your program be any different.

Of course, just because you can't fix the bugs in your programs does not mean an employer will not hire you. Some employers are only looking for a good fit, a great personality, and a Computer Science degree since they have nerdy programmers who can always fix your bugs.

Here's what a smart first grader who knows C, C++, and JavaScript will answer.

while (true)
    if (program == "has_bug")
        fixBug(program);
    else
        break;

First graders know that every ONE has aptitude and they don't know anyone who failed Grade I.

Be smarter than a first grader!

Smart Enough To Vote

First Graders Are Old Enough To Vote

It takes a smart voter to elect the best candidate to be the next President of the United States. Voters who are 100 years old and senile can vote, so why not a first grader!

I was actually voted as Vice President of my fourth grade class, no less nominated by the prettiest girl in the class who was voted as Muse of the class. The President was the serious looking girl in the class.

Voting for the president of the good ole' USA is a very serious affair. You will be voting for the most powerful person in the world or maybe the entire universe. (Maybe that's why more boys wanted to be president.)

And that's exactly why first graders need to vote also. Because they are voting for their own future.

Here's what a smart first grader will do when his teacher asks him or her who to vote.

Who do you vote for president?

Hillary Clinton

Donald Trump

Be as smart as a first grader!

Smarter Than A First Grader

Smarter Than A First Grader

By 2020, children will be smarter than their grandparents, and sometimes even their parents.

Welcome to the 21st century!

By the time a first grader graduate first grade, he or she will learn how to form complete sentences like these:

I am in Grade I. I got an A in Recess.

And not only will first graders learn to form complete sentences, they will also learn to become programmers by forming complete Python statements like this:

print("Good morning, teacher!")

And the smarter first graders might even program this:

print("I will bring my homework to class. " * 100)

Not only can children learn Python, they can also learn any language they happen to like, like C++ and Java, or German and French!

Be smarter than a first grader!
