Actually, this is pretty important research with major implications for how children fare in education.

I got a lot dumber when my girls turned into teenagers. Now that they're in college, I seem to be getting smarter again.

For me, "fluctuate" means up and down. I love my grandkids, but
honestly sometimes it seems they drop back into middle school for a week, and then they are back to normal grade levels. Dana... no evil intent ![]() |

The only "weird" thing about that is that we're only just acknowledging this.
The brain is massively plastic. So many factors effect it, from diet and general health to education and mood, that these things will bounce around a lot. If you want to increase your IQ, just practise doing lots of IQ tests. Better, study them and find out how they are designed. You won't get much smarter in real life, but you'll get better at scoring good marks on IQ tests.

Pretty true about all standardized testing. Teach to the test and you will do fine.

Are you kidding? Bush's failed No Child Left Behind is a perfect example of the failure of standardized testing.

Keep them!
If they're stupid enough to do a B&E in an official building, they don't have what it takes to be a PhD. Thus, we don't want them back.

On two local ballot measures, for the final election results...
A YES vote on one is consistent with a NO vote on the other, and visa versus. A NO / NO outcome would leave the situation as it is now. But, a YES / YES vote is incompatible with reality. We saw a similar situation before regarding a 5-member Board of Education. One measure added 2 members, the other removed 2 members. |

Do Ohio School Boards or Administrations not have any authority at all without going to court ?
