    hmmmm - you dismiss somebody else as "gobblidgook" but when somebody else dismisses what you say, you throw a hissy fit?

    Any chance that you would make a litte effort to get some information BEFORE you come to a conclusion.
    I am making points, you are making insults. Hence why various people are agreeing with me. You haven't come up with any logical arguments - just insults. Insults don't sway people.

    You seem like a very angry person? especially towards people with more money and/or more intelligence than you? Nature isn't fair, it gives some people advantages over others. You'll have to learn to accept that.

    You are making statements on a subject that nyou have no knowledge of at all and that is very clear from what you are posting here.

    To repeatedly say that somebody else has no knowledge of a topic doesn't make your point superior. Use logic to argue your point, concentrate on what my points are - stick to the issues and you might convince some people.

    You proposed taking resources away from those with special needs and spend it is those that are regarded as the 'brghtest' Anyone who knows anything at all about education would see that that is a nonsense and could only be spouted by someone with no knowledge of the matter..

    No I didn't, I asked. Here's the post again, just in case you want to engage,
    "You proposed taking resources away from those with special needs and spend it is those that are regarded as the 'brghtest'. Anyone who knows anything at all about education would see that that is a nonsense and could only be spouted by someone with no knowledge of the matter."

    You haven't made a point. All you said is that my point is nonsense and I have no knowledge of the issue. You should be able to back up WHY my point is nonsense. You need to learn how to explain WHY your points are correct instead of just repeating them. Those are the skills of persuasion.

    You just fail to see the point. Clue. grouping children according to an IQ test is not done anywhere. Reason, no need. Special needs on the other hand is a competely different concept. If you understood how education is imparted and absorbed, you simply would not be making the points that you are. Just admit it, you know nothing about eduacational methods and are just spouting..

    What is your specialist knowledge? if you are a teacher (like some here) then you do know more about educational methods than me.

    However, just repeating that you know more than I do about the issue isn't making a point and neither is accusing the other person of "sprouting". You need to make points on the issues.

    You did make one point (which is at least a sign of progress by you) - that grouping children by IQ test isn't done anywhere. However I didn't say that the IQ test should be the method. Ignoring the method, your claim is false. The primary school I went to split up the classes when I was 8 years old, the strugglers went into a class to teach at a slower pace. All the secondary schools I know also grouped according to ability - maybe 12 doesn't count as a child? you didn't specify so I cannot know.
