[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s the thing. They have already been tested and while they have low IQs, they don’t qualify for an IEP. What will their future be?[/quote] Plumbers, electricians, carpenters who will out earn the college educated particularly teachers. [/quote] Why does everyone assume that these jobs can be performed with a low iq? Yes, the education involved in getting those jobs might be attainable for those with low iq. But actually doing the job well enough to be employable actually does take quite a bit of smarts. Many blue collar jobs that DCUM seems to think anyone can do, take just as much smarts if not more than some more white collar jobs. I wouldn't assume that the kids with low iqs will become plumbers or electricians (not sure about carpenters). And if they did become them, they very well might not be able to keep their jobs.
