Subject: Assignment 5

One positive reason for intelligence testing is to see where different students are placed in schools. Statistically the students with lower IQ's will not perform as well in school nor will they try hard to succeed. As we discussed in class, the lower IQ students may try for a while to make high grades and be successful but will eventually fall back into not caring about grades and completion of school. With intelligence testing schools can place those with higher IQ's in classes and programs that push the students and produce more productive people. The schools should not provide more technology or attention to the higher IQ students, just have them in a more suitable setting. The same goes for the lower IQ students. With intelligence testing the students can be placed where they will learn better and retain more information. They will learn at a suitable rate and one student that may have been left behind will be able to understand more clearly at a pace with students of the same IQ. But like I said before, the school system does not need to forget about the lower IQ students, just have a place for them also as well as pushing those with higher intelligence so that both are at an advantage rather than out of place. Many smart kids do not want to "act" smart around lower IQ students and that also creates a problem with their success, but if they are placed with students like them they are more likely to use their intelligence and be more successful.
