IQ tests are designed to take age into account. They can administer an IQ test if you are school-aged and talking. IQ's usually don't deviate much in a lifetime (+-5 points). By the time you are in Kindergarten, your ability to think has already been formed by your early life experience. You will have the same IQ at 5 that you have at 50.
They made Head Start about forty years ago because they noticed blacks and impoverished kids are generally less intelligent than "normal" kids. Head Start is a type of daycare for 3 and 4 year olds that tried to even out the IQ gap between black/impoverished kids and white kids (15-17 points average). There has been no success for this program. I think it will be completely cut soon. If not, it is a huge waste of money and should be dropped. I would rather see the money go to old people.
Here's an example (from BlackPressUSA) of how effective this is:
"According to researches at Yale University, African-American children in pre-kindergarten are twice as likely to be expelled as Hispanic and White children and more than five times as likely to be expelled as Asian children. According to most, a lack of support in the classroom is to blame. (Nah, couldn't be that they are raised like fucking animals, it is the classroom to blame.)
“These three and four year olds are barely out of diapers. No one wants to think about children this young being kicked out of school, especially not their parents and teachers. All teachers in state-funded prekindergarten programs should have access to the support staff they need to effectively manage classroom behavior. When they do, expulsion rates are cut nearly in half,” said Walter Gilliam, author of the Yale University study “Prekindergartners Left Behind.”"
Fuckupedness starts young and can rarely be fixed. That people escape execution for killing another because their mom was a piece of shit infuriates me. Yes, they are raised like shit. That is why they kill. Why keep them around?
