IQ Tests

A lot of people in our society today have concerns and doubts about IQ testing children. I believe that children should be IQ tested but only if a problem or learning disability may be a factor. For example, I went to school with a girl who was born n December so she was older and got put in the grade above. Around first grade, teachers were noticing that she was behind the students in the class, so they tested her and realized that she was a whole grade level behind in reading and writing. They ended up putting her back in the lower grade so that she could catch up with reading and writing. I believe that this was a good way to IQ test someone because they knew something was wrong and searched for a problem, and caught the problem just in time. Having said this though, I do not believe that children should be IQ tested just on a regular basis, because it is a standardized test and does fit everyones learning styles. Also in our world today, there is so much extra stressed put on children and i feel like these IQ tests just add to that unneeded stress.
