How about trying what actually works, for a change?

They should emphasize teaching character and stop worrying about IQ. Character counts for far more than IQ and is a learned behavior.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Nature vs Nurture, genes vs Jeans... Nisbett does say that Jews have higher IQ’s than Gentiles, and that whites have higher IQ’s than blacks, but his purely environmental explanations of these differences often beg questions. For example, Nisbett explains the superior IQ of Jews by citing the educational focus of Jewish culture, and he ascribes elevated visual-spatial ability among East Asians to a culture that emphasizes it. But where did these cultures come from? Nisbett never seriously considers that cultures themselves could have genetic origins.

My consistent observation over the years is that less intelligent kids who go from government school to private school, don’t necessarily raise their scores- C students in government school are C students in private school but that C in a private school represents a lot more achievement than the C in the government school. By private school I actually mean parochial schools here. I don’t know anything directly of non parochial private schools.
