Quotations about Children

In my opinion, children benefit from having their intelligence assessed because testing assist in determining where children are cognitively in their reaction time, remembering, processing information and problem solving. All of these functions play a part in children capacity to learn. I also believe cultural experiences and socio-economic factors are major influences to be considered in intelligence testing.

China

In China, there are six years of elementary school, three years of middle school, and three years of high school. Chinese students attend classes five or six days a week. On Saturdays required classes are held in science and math. There is an exam at the end of middle school to decide who attends high school. Thirty percent of middle school students go on to high school.

Elementary school report cards are 30 pages long. They include measurements of weight, height, eyesight, hearing, lung capacity and information on where children fit in  the national average. Teachers give grades, but parents and other students are encouraged to add their assessments, usually pointing out some fault or weakness.
