The New IQ

So I read this article that pretty much said some kids aren't stupid they just can't know things. The kids don't fail tests because they're dumb, instead it's that they can't remember answers for tests. Apparently this Ph.D never heard the phrase, "Duh!"

"While he is not sure working memory can be expanded, Levine said children can be taught ways to function better in school . . . . 'While it did not fix her problem, it prevents it from causing too much trouble.'"

Because, really, who needs to "help" children? Isn't it better if we just get them to a point where they don't get in the way of others?
