How to Raise Our I.Q.

By ORdiCo | Published: April 21, 2009

Another proven intervention is to tell junior-high-school students that I.Q. is expandable, and that their intelligence is something they can help shape. Students exposed to that idea work harder and get better grades. That’s particularly true of girls and math, apparently because some girls assume that they are genetically disadvantaged at numbers; deprived of an excuse for failure, they excel.

An interesting writeup by a collumnist from NYT. I gave it a read n it’s reassuring for me. Further emphasies on what I believe in early childhood education (through play.  not crazy abacus/ballet/piano/violing/wat eva classes!).
