[quote=Anonymous]Is IQ fixed? If it is how can prepping for it (like with the ACT) improve the IQ score? Nothing to worry here. If IQ is not fixed? How do you ensure children remain in an intellectual and mental silo and are not exposed to the content material and similar tasks the test examines? Catch 22. You can't. Kids will read, learn English, gain number sense and get exposure and experience in all the types of tasks tested in variable degrees -- dependent on pre-school training and preparation, tutors, zip codes and SES. Why not call a spade a spade. Transparency for all. Encourage [b]all[/b] children to learn, even if it improves their IQ score. What's wrong with that? Are you afraid knowledge will allow children to take away one of your entitled seats in Big 3? Is this your fear? Don't tell them to eat cake and that they will fall on their face if they come to my school because of artificial, unnatural and performance-enhanced scores. Sounds like malarky.[/quote]
