BBC News – IQ ‘can change in teenage years’.

Hi, fascinating article that explains a lot about teenagers and provides some scientific basis for not being too quick to judge our young people:

 “We have a tendency to assess children and determine the course of their education relatively early in life.

“But here we have shown that their intelligence is likely to be still developing.

“We have to be careful not to write off poorer performers at an early age when in fact their IQ may improve significantly given a few more years.”
