[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a kindergarten teacher and the students who struggle almost always test out with IQs in the low 70s. It takes them a very long time to learn new things. If an average kid learns letter names and sounds in the first few months of kindergarten, it takes these students until the end of the year or even into first grade to learn the same information. They fall behind from the beginning and never catch up. They just need a lot more repetition that cannot always be given in a school day. The same students who struggle in kindergarten are the same students who struggle in every subsequent grade level. Some of them have more determination but many give up by late elementary school and become behavior issues. [/quote]

That makes sense. Low 70s is riding up on the 70 line for "intellectually disabled" which is pretty severe. I have a cousin in this range and she has required and received tremendous support and schooling her whole life, but low IQ is immediately obvious and she will never live independently. [/quote]
