I don't think statistics support that idea. Intelligence scores should be normally distributed among the "educator" population. Given that they have achieved a "higher" level of education, we'd expect them to be at least slightly above the mean...the curve would be a bit skewed.

Also, by saying they are of "lower ability" we are excusing off their deliberate inadequacy and laziness.

No. I think they are perfectly capable of understanding, but the "education culture" is not about helping the individual child learn and be at his highest potential. Rather it is about achieving the minimum necessary to continue getting that pay check and those summer holidays!!

blech...

breathing....breathing....deep deep breath!!!:^)
