[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]IQ is fixed and since they can measure that with some sort of accuracy and a kid with a high IQ is not able to read in 4th grade there is a need for extra help. Schools are not designed to teach certain children to read - they need a different methodology - there are schools that use that methodology and some don't. Which is why public goes from phonics to whole word methods every 7 years like the economy. It's basically lame.

I actually have a working relationship with my kids teachers and don't expect all kinds of accomodations that take away from the other kids and we just simply put them in some tutoring. I don't have my kids tutored based on grades but based on frustration.

I am very happy with a C and feel blessed with a B. A's are non existent in our house - except in gym.

BTW - the Bell Shaped Curve has been proven in education to be a bad model. [/quote]

Sorry my phone is definitely not as smart as others either.

I meant to say IQ may or may not be fixed but is measurable.

If your height, weight, body surface area are not fixed for a given individual at birth why do intelligent persons think IQ is fixed at birth?

Not so intelligent after all.[/quote][/quote]
