[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered any trades as opposed to college?  I have a son who is not very smart (IQ more than 30 points less than your daughter's) and he does just fine.  [/quote]
Your sons IQ is under 80 and he does fine? Isn’t that on the border of mental retardation? I thought 75 was.[/quote]

wow.  check yourself PP.  perhaps your [b]EQ[/b] is at a very low level?   what a thing to say!!![/quote]

I work with people with developmental disabilities.  "Mental retardation" is a medical diagnosis.   According to the DSM-V, persons with IQ in the range of 50-70  are considered to have mild mental retardation.  10 IQ points matter, and an IQ of 70 is not the same as an IQ of 80.

Discussing this diagnosis is NOT the same as the effort, which I totally support, to eliminate the insensitive and damaging use of the terms "retarded" and "retard" as insults.

With all of that said, OP is a troll.  An IQ of 110  is above average.[/quote]
