Testing for Intelligence
I believe that all children should be assessed to determine the level of their development. Children should be assessed to see if they are functioning at their age level. It's good to test a child several times to check their progress. When assessing a child achievement it should be taken in consideration the progress or significant developmental achievements, to place a child or promotion decisions, to diagnose learning and teaching problems. Also testing could help in instruction and curriculum decisions and to serve as a basis for reporting to parents. To assist a child with assessing his or her own educational progress. Every child enters the world with his or her own gifts and talents. Children should be strength socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. Children should be given an opportunity to maximize their potential. China has a long history of testing their children. Education system in China uses testing to assess educational outcome in China. Scores of various tests are used to promote students into higher level of education or even grades.

Yes, testing should be done every other year to know exactly what level a child is on after each test. If they are falling short in a subject, then more focus should be given to the child in that area. This would allow the child to see that someone cares and it will promote self-esteem, because they do not have to feel ashamed for not grasping a subject. It allows that child to truly understand it and be able to flourish in his or her later years. China has always been strict with their children’s education and I think that is such a grand thing. We need to expect so much more from our own children. Great blog!
