[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Wrong" was the word I was focussed on.  You finally got to the point of acknowledging that there were alternative ways of looking at intelligence and asked why I thought your way was the wrong way.  I gave three reasons why and asked you what you thought was right about your way.  No reading comprehension problem here.

I guess I may have the problem then.

There is nothing right/useful about thinking that intelligence is fixed and innate.  That is why I said it was wrong.

This is a completely separate issue though than what I've been talking about.  That is that IQ tests are the best tools we have at this moment in time to indentify children at risk.  Children at risk are those with delays, learning disabilities, giftedness, etc.  Children with some type exception to the rule that are far enough from the norm that accomodations are needed to meet their educational needs.  Most curriculums are designed to meet the needs of those down the middle.  I'm not saying this to infer that children down the middle would not benefit from an enriched experience.  I'm simply saying that most curriculums are designed to meet the needs of the children down the middle and not the 2% on either end of the curve.  [/quote]
