[quote=Anonymous]DC schools readily recognize for example the difference in a disabled child of 60 IQ versus a normal child of 100 IQ, and make accommodations via FAPE, et cetera.  A child of 60 IQ will struggle with material that is no problem for a normal child of 100 IQ, a child of 60 IQ will likely never develop the full range of skills and capabilities that a child of 100 IQ will.  It takes a lot more time and patience to work with a child of 60 IQ, along with tailored techniques.  A normal child of 100 IQ would be bored and frustrated if those techniques were used with him.

Now... Consider that a child with a 140 IQ is every bit as much of  a gap - and is every bit as different from a child with 100 IQ as a child with 100 IQ is different from a child with 60 IQ.  The child with 140 IQ can easily master things that a child with 100 IQ will struggle with.  It takes them far less time to understand concepts, they can advance far more rapidly and so on.  Using the same techniques with them as are used with 100 IQ children will bore and frustrate them, and is every bit as much a scenario of in appropriate education as putting a 60 IQ child in a normal classroom and expecting him to perform the same as the 100 IQ students.[/quote]
