[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am a gen ed teacher and I was surprised how low some of my students' IQs were. I knew they weren't bright or even average but quite a few of them have been in the low 70s.[/b] It takes them a very long time to grasp anything new. They don't make connections so new learning takes forever. Sometimes it feels like the world is passing them by. A low IQ alone won't get them an IEP so it isn't easy to help them when you are the only one. I teach 1st grade and I worry about other kids teasing them as they get older.[/quote]

I was an elementary school teacher as well and taught various grades.  It's actually a lot easier to tell if a kid is not so bright in the younger years as opposed to when they are older.  And especially in a field as ours such as education, where you try very hard to want to make every excuse under the sun for why a child is slow,  we've been very conditioned to try to find an explanation for it other than the kid is just dumb.
