How can I deal with kids who have high intelligence when I don't.?

Just be happy that you are who you are...intelligence doesn't mean smart, I mean you can have a rocket scientist that has an IQ of 4,000 but if he doesn't look bothways before walking across a highway then what's the point of intelligence.

hmm tuffy,\nto be honest I think I actually was smarter than my parents on  a lot of things I did a whole lot more then they think I did and never did get caught....UNTIL I got in the real world, after a few tickets and a couple of girlfriends thought I was a total JERK (which I admit I was) I learned real quick about being arrogant or otherwise. I let my kids watch a lot, but they know the REAL reality is at home,\nGood Luck and God Bless

If your child shows gifted signs (NOT necessarily high grades, but certainly creativity, critical thinking, etc.), your child's school district should provide screening free of charge based on your request. If they refuse, ask for that refusal, with an explanation of why, in writing.\n\nLow grades alone are not adequate reasoning for why a child should not be tested (many gifted kids do poorly grade-wise, as they can be very unmotivated).\n\nIf you are looking for an independent diagnostician, try this site--ask them if they either offer diagnostic services, or can refer to somewhere that can:\n\nhttp://www.education.wisc.edu/rpse/

I find that giving a child with special needs a "buddy" who is "typically developing" tends to help.  I usually choose a girl who is a little (how shall we say?) bit of a leader.  Girls tend to have a little more of the nurturing and protective element.  Choose one person to help out the other child, makes sure that they get their assignments, stay on task, do their work... just be a reminder for the child with special needs.  Talk with the children truthfully about the child's qualities and needs.  "Yes, Joshua can write, but he can't speak very well yet."  Tell the other children what they can do to help him out.  "Erica, since you are good at understanding what Joshua wants, can you make sure that he gets what he needs to do his work?"  Praise the children for sticking up for their friend (this is especially hard in 2nd on up- the kids are starting to really notice differences).  Build a sense of community within your classroom, and expect that the children take care of one another outside of it as well.  Show the children what the child with special needs can do well, and try to find the similarities.  If the child with special needs is really into baseball, find another child in the class with the same interests who can talk about them with them.  Mostly, it is all about fostering a sense of belonging with all the children, pointing out everyone's achievements, and having a sense of comraderie.

first find out what grade level they are reading on by giving them a test i forget what it is called and then find out what they have trouble on (i.e. vowels, long e, etc.) once you have found that out then you can focus on it and in the areas where they are struggling you could come up with a game to help them out and to kinda keep it on a consistant basis.

Kids can be jerks, and they are just doing it to upset you, so don't. Just ignore them and keep thinking...you have less than 2 years to go and you are out of there!

Get them active, in maths for e.g get them picking balls out of bags a write down results, the more involved they feel the more fun it'll be so the more they will remember!  I hope I've helped!!! Good luck teachings hard!!!

tell everybody what you need to learn.  then make them read from the textbook and give project options to show you that they learned it.   say they can choose to write a summary, show you notes they took, draw a diagram, etc.  then move on to the next grade while the others work independently.  and have a good discipline system and keep it in place, even when it's tough.  if you let them get away withit it will be worse later.

Depends on each person. Try to find out more about the person's interests and work it out from there. (Well, this actually requires a lot of experience, but basically is about putting yourself in their shoes and trying to see how math is involved in their favorite domain or can help them further their talents.)\n\nFirst of all don't forget to value their talents and say it's ok if they don't learn math after all, they are not stupid. There is something called "The theory of multiple intelligences", you know...

It is not uncommon for students at all educational levels to perform well in the classroom setting, but poorly on standardized tests. Some children do not "test" well. They freeze up under the considerable stress of the formal test-taking session or they fail to understand or take advantage of beneficial test-taking techniques. The flip side to this is that students of average ability may be excellent test-takers and can outperform more "intelligent" students. \n\nSeveral important things to remember about standardized test taking:\n1. Help minimize the stress your child feels about the test. Don't heap her full of expectations. Let her know that you expect her best effort and that the grade is less important. \n2. If practice tests are available, encourage her to take one. Practice really helps with standardized tests. \n3. Go over helpful test-taking techniques with her. Answering the easiest questions first and eliminating obvious wrong answers can go a long way toward improving scores.\n\nUltimately, you must decide what is important to you about her achieving a high score. If low scores are preventing you child from being included in advance coursework that you think she should be taking, then you might consider working with her to imporve her scores. However, there are copious examples in the world today of parents who push their children way too hard in school. I would advise you to be aware of pushing too hard, which can place undue stress on a child and can result in a child who is unwilling and unable to make her own decisions later in life. Unltimately, she will decide how harp she will apply herself and her talents. \n\nParenting can really be stressful sometimes, eh?  Good luck!  :)

please note: this is mostly personal experience and opionion \n\nMany kids drop out (believe it or not) because they are not chalanged academically. It is easy to find high schoolers that are doing poorly in school because they have no intrest in doing the work. Some are duel exceptionality (both gifted and learning disabled) and because of this are only incouraged in their disability. Also you must have the grades to be moved to a higher grade level according to most public schools any test score doesn't matter. Allow not only tests but also teachers to list a student for testing to be moved up in grades. Encourage individual curriculum or unusual class scedules according to need.Homeschool, corespondace, school-to-work programs are all helpful when a tradidtional public education system fails.

I believe that their brains have not yet fully grown and they would rather not feel their pains, stresses and humiliations so resort to not being present. It takes a strong individual to say no to peer pressures and sometimes kids don't have that self discipline to do that.  They need strong parents and family to instill those traits.

best way to explain this is\nyour IQ is 20% of your total inteligence, so 80% of your total inteligence is down to self-esteem and charisma, so if someone tels you youre stupid enought times, you start to believe it. if you have a high IQ but low motivational skills then you will seem rather "stupid" so the best way to do it is by\n1. keep thinking youre inteligent\n2. keep yourelf motivated\n3. practice everything in a way that suits you wether it is visualy, audialy or kinestheticaly.

Treat the children as equals, provided they are not your children.  Even if they are yours,  do not talk down to them, and don't be hypocritical.  Play the game as they play it.\nRemember how much fun it was to just let your imagination go and play, play, play.

Why are you concerned about the IQ of a child? Let the child be just that, a child, and don't worry about how smart they might be!
