Are you public or private school teacher? Dont know where you are, but know private schools are more prevalent in LA than other places. Wondering if this "lowering" is in the private schools there too or just public.


Public. The whole system is broken. Until some accountability is placed on students and, more importantly, parents, things will continue to be bad.

I never have understood why IQs can’t go up.

I teach high school. I agree with this percentage.


I have no idea what to do about it.


The thing is, IQ isn't exactly something that can be raised that much just from education. Brilliant people will be brilliant regardless of education and dumb people will be dumb regardless. With education, you bring the lows up a bit and bring the highs up probably a bit more, relatively speaking.

It's like vegetables and all species of mammals. If you don't keep good seeds and keep recycling the same crap to the next crop, you will weaken the gene pool... Just think about it.

Would you support an IQ test as part of voter eligibility?

If Dems ever agree to this, they will never win another election.

There are dumb people in every country. In the US, they tend to congregate in Alabama.

83 isn’t just a little slow.

Most people are able to easily communicate and socialize with others within a 30 point range (+ or - 15). The US average is between 100-102.

A person with an 83 IQ has trouble relating to and communicating with the average adult.

Those aren’t Trump voters. Those are most likely not not even voters at all. As adults, they likely congregate in very low income areas with a wider safety net.

Are you suggesting that if the military deems an individual as not being mentally able to handle firearms and the other fundamentals of military life, that also precludes that individual from having a productive role in civilian society?


I'll just say this, from my time in the military, they make shite as easy as fricking possible so the dumbest motherfricker in the military can figure it out. Do you know how many dumb sons and daughters of bitches there are in the United States military these days?

No. Only one is correct. Your post is proof society these days slowly changes its standards to suit the lowest common denominator.

they try to account for it by using age as a kind of denominator.


speed of processing won't change much.

Speed of processing is a key.

High schools do offer honors and AP classes, and some allow students to take classes at a college.

Different learning styles of students are completely dismissed though. Rote memorization and reading do not work at all for me, but it was a requirement from pre-K up until mid-junior year of my first degree, and senior year of my second

Using this argument and scaling it to American society, 1 out of 10 people in American society are in this bucket. These people cannot be saved, but are given tons of money and a vote in our processes day after day.

These people should NOT be allowed to vote.

I really do think an aggressive welfare program in exchange for sterilization fixes America in less than 40 years.


It does. If you can't support yourself, you should not have children. It's pretty simple.
