[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprise!  People are not all equally brilliant blank slates, only to be affected by SES, quality of teaching, impact of community, blah blah blah.  Some of them really are dumb as bricks.

You are familiar with the way a bell curve looks, yes? Its really hard to believe that all of the OP's students are on the lower 1/4. She just doesnt like them and bitching on the interent about it is really unprofessional. But hey, I guess it makes you feel smart to call children 'dumb as bricks'. Proves you are so much better, right? [/quote]

You have no idea what you are talking about.  You make too many assumptions.  You have no idea what population Op is working with.  I have a relative who teaches in a small school district in another state and says the kids are stupid and their parents are stupid.  This cycle will continue if the people in her district keep marrying each other.  The stupidity will go on ad infinitum.  The fact is there are towns of stupid people and they have stupid children.  It is sad but true.  I don't know if OP teaches families like these, but if she does, she is merely stating a truth.[/quote]
Good luck with that prejudice. [/quote]

You're being asinine.  I don't understand what it is with being politically correct.  It is not an f-ing mystery to the average person anywhere that there are people of varying intelligence levels and that to a large extent, it is determined at birth.  Or, for that matter, that perhaps intelligence levels vary based on what neighborhoods you teach for.

Which part of this requires mental gymnastics???

This is why the Right calls the Left mentally ill.[/quote]

Actually, what research shows us is that intelligence level is NOT determined at birth, and can actually change over the course of one's life.  [/quote]
