Let's face the facts: "education" in this country is not the honorable
profession it is in many other countries. For one thing, our "teachers" are
the lowest scoring students in the crop. Education majors score 88 points
lower than Social Science Majors on SAT Verbal and 161 points lower than
Physical Science majors in SAT Math. Conversely, Japanese teachers come
from the other end of the scale http://christianparty.net/teachers.htm
How can our teachers possibly be expected to teach so many students who
comprehend the material far better than they do? Japanese teachers don't
have that problem.
Our teachers are also not the moral examples they were a century ago. They
willingly pass on the Wechsler LIE about boys' and girls' "IQ scores" being
"equal", so we can't give them any credit for being moral examples for our
children.
What should we expect from such a motley crowd when they read the
nonsensical disclaimer that GRE tests don't measure "intelligence"? An
honest assessment? Absolutely not. An astute analysis? Even less likely.
This disclaimer is a LIE. It measures precisely what it claims that it
doesn't measure. The quantitative portion of the test is what the "IQ test"
SHOULD be, but to prevent mind numbed teachers from understanding that, they
put this phony disclaimer on the test.
