Most binary bosses perform well in school. They scaled through a grading system and where gender,height or connection plays no role whatsaoever scores above a certain mark( let’s say 200 in jamb) ,passed and is assured of admission. One who scores less loses admission.
Those who passes are called brilliant.those who failed are dull.they transfer this system of measurement in other aspect of life. They fail to understand that I this yardstick is not always applicable In real life. A dull child could cheat and pass. A brilliant child could fail due to falling Ill on exam day.

Rain falls in both the good and bad.secondly, explain to them that it is better to be effective than to be fair. It is difficult to be both.thirdly encourage them to use middle terms such as warm (instead of hot or cold). Middle aged instead of (young or old) sometimes instead of (always or never). Ask them open minded question such ad can one be good at maths and Terrible at English? Does that make the person a terrible person academically?
