- mcculley 5y agoInteresting. Is this true for all U.S. school districts? I am very surprised to learn that all kids are being I.Q. tested.
- detaro 5y agoI doubt it's IQ tests specifically.
- mcculley 5y agoWhat tests would they be? My point is that, at least in the system I experienced, a fraction of students were given IQ tests. They were then placed into special classes. Is jxidjhdhdhdhfhf wrong?
- jxidjhdhdhdhfhf 5y agoThey take standardized tests related to normal school topics such as math, reading, etc. They don't take IQ tests.
- mcculley 5y agoThat’s my point. When I was tested as “gifted”, it was an IQ test. Not every student was tested. Testing every student would have resulted in different outcomes. That is not fair.
