[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very important. I always have at least two students every year who are very slow learners. Years later, they test them for IEPs and they have IQs in the low to mid 70s. They can learn but it takes a ton of repetition. Much more than the other students. By third grade, they are working on first grade skills. So yes, intelligence is important. [/quote] I have one of these kids. It’s a long hard road. He made it through HS with a lot of support and even then just barely. I also have a brilliant child with an off the charts IQ, but executive functioning, attention and MH issues. He works at Least as hard as the other one and can make good grades. But even with a high IQ, it’s really tough for him. So IME, intelligence is important but other issues can still impede success.
