[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What are the educational prospects of a low IQ child from a middle class family then? Let’s ask that question. In the movie Forest Gump, young forest was about to be assigned to a special school because of low IQ, his mother wanted him to get a normal education so banged the principle so he would change his mind. Of course that’s a movie, but there is some truth to how the privilege can get rules bent in their favour. [/quote] There is no such thing as low IQ child from a middle class family. These days little Forest would be found to have learning disabilities, get unlimited time for tests, etc. The rates of IEPs are actually correlated with household incomes, in some wealthy school districts up to a quarter of students have various accomodations.[/quote]
