This info seems to be typical for that profession. I personally chose to have my infant/preschooler spend days with someone with an IQ over 130 to give them the best possible advantage. Me.

Thanks for the laugh that I needed today.

BTW, were you bored doing a job that only requires an IQ of 100?

I have learned on DCUM that many working moms, especially the lawyer types, think that any idiot can take care of young kids but only geniuses like them can have a real job like law. You just go on believing that, ok? I chose not to leave my infants and toddlers with daycare workers...oh, excuse me, "preschool" teachers...because I cherished every moment I had with them. When they went to school that's when I went back to work. And no, I wasn't bored. You have to be pretty special to not be able to figure out how to not be bored when you can do whatever you want. And taking care of my kids was never boring.

There must be some posters on DCUM who meet this profile. If so, what is your job and what was school like for you?

Me thinks you’ve not an idea of the difference between mean and median. . . Sub 90 for you?

Jesus Christ. Way to insult early childhood educators. I teach Pre-Kindergarten, have a Masters degree in ECE, and have an IQ of 120. Please don't make assumptions about people who teach young children. It's this prevailing view that keeps the pay for most of us criminally low.

Thank you! This is so insulting and I agree with you on the bolded.

As the parent of an SN kid I think it's insulting that you think it's insulting to say someone has an IQ around 100. That speaks volumes about your lack of respect for people with lower IQ.

DS is the kindest child I know and I love to spend time with him. He clearly performs differently than his peers and will probably not go to a 4 year college, though community college would be great. He likes kids though I don't know if he would want to be a preschool teacher. His IQ is 99. Exactly what part am I suppose to be ashamed about?

This isn't about your kid. But thanks for trying to make it about him as you always do.

That's not actually true. People used to believe that, but it hasn't been borne out by research.

No. Most people do a terrible job taking care of small children. Especially the sanctimommies. Preschool teachers, on the other hand, are generally awesome.

Thank you for admitting this. What was school like for you? Were you in advanced classes? Did school seem difficult to you?

Why is having an IQ around 100 an insult? And I didn't suggest that every PK teacher in the world has a low IQ, I said that I would guess that my DD's do. I have specific reasons why I believe that. I also believe they are great PK teachers. I think perhaps you are embarrassed about your current circumstances to read into my statement as much as you did.

I can tell when somebody's IQ is above 145. They are all strange. But in different ways.
