    IQ Tests are Obviously Biased!

    Here is an article a friend sent to me a few minutes ago. It's called Intelligence Testing: Accurate or Extremely Biased? It's from neuroethicsblog.com. ---------------------------------------------------------- In the early 1900s, psychologist Charles Spearman noticed that children who did well...

    Sometimes I worry about the future.

    Well, since my mind has rather annoyingly decided to start worrying at silly hours, I might as well share my concerns. I'm worried that I will never pass my Maths GCSE, and as a result my CV will be disregarded by employers. Then there's that voice that lingers at the back of my mind that tells...

    Introduction

    Hi, my name is Jolynn and I have been a member of this forum for a few years, but this is the first time I am posting.

    I am new here!

    So, I am new here. A recently diagnosed friend directed me to this forum, as he is under the impression I may also be on the spectrum. Can anyone point me in the direction of reputable online resources for a self-diagnosis? I am quite curious, as my friend and I connected quite well instantly...

Each class is decorating puzzles pieces to be hung in the main area of the school. I told her that I did not want to...

    Learning at dinner time

    My eight-year-old son wants to know about the creation of everything, so I’m searching the web to find cool videos to share with him. He usually spends a lot of time in his own video games, he also has swimming classes, and spends time doing homework. And last, but not least, he has seven hours...

    A mom, a son and lots of curiosity

    My eight-year-old told me last night, again, that he’s not learning anything at school. That he wants to know how everything was created, and how the plants and animals were inside. I told him the we could learn it at home anyway. So today I found these very cool videos that I want to see and...

    My kids' minds

    I read somewhere that we are all artists when we are kids (until someone says a negative critic against our art work). Likewise, we are all philosophers when we are kids… or maybe I’m wrong, and I just used to be a kid philosopher, and my two children turned out to be even better kid...
