Intelligence Quotient (I.Q.)

IQ (formula): IQ = MA/CA x 100 (mental age/chronological age)

Myths:  - belief that a person's IQ will be constant as they develop
              - belief that IQ is the only important thing we need to know about children

Question: What do you think about the IQ testing of children?
I do not agree with the IQ testing of children. Because our IQ changes as we age and develop it is not fair for a child to have their IQ tested while they are still growing. If a child receives a low score on their IQ test, they would be treated differently than the average student. This is wrong because the child may just be developing slower than other children his or her own age.
