This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: oldest, Oldest Twenty of the participants felt that their birth order did affect their scholastics., “Older siblings tend to have a slight advantage academically, perhaps because of the exclusive time they had with their parents before any brothers or sisters came along, and also possibly because they themselves benefit from teaching younger siblings” (McDevitt, 165). When we asked these older siblings to list ways they felt their birth order affected their academics, the most popular answer we received was that they tried to do very well in school to set a good example for their younger siblings, Oldest Older siblings that felt that their birth order did affect them academically also felt that if their birth order were different, they would have been affected differently., Older siblings that felt that their birth order did affect them academically also felt that if their birth order were different, they would have been affected differently. Five of the individuals felt that if they were younger, they would have been less motivated in school and more likely to slack., “Older siblings tend to have a slight advantage academically, perhaps because of the exclusive time they had with their parents before any brothers or sisters came along, and also possibly because they themselves benefit from teaching younger siblings” (McDevitt, 165). Through our research, we discovered that this was indeed the case for many older siblings., Oldest “Older siblings tend to have a slight advantage academically, perhaps because of the exclusive time they had with their parents before any brothers or sisters came along, and also possibly because they themselves benefit from teaching younger siblings” (McDevitt, 165)., “Older siblings tend to have a slight advantage academically, perhaps because of the exclusive time they had with their parents before any brothers or sisters came along, and also possibly because they themselves benefit from teaching younger siblings” (McDevitt, 165). From the twenty-six siblings we surveyed that were oldest in their family, most of them had only one younger sibling. Some also had two, three, and four other siblings, Older siblings that felt that their birth order did affect them academically also felt that if their birth order were different, they would have been affected differently. Almost half of the individuals felt that school would have been much easier if they were younger.
