Upon completion of 10 months of schooling, he will enter the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. Schools employ several kinds of measuring devices. I.Q.s (Intelligence Quotients), achievement tests and report cards are those most frequently used to evaluate children.

Problems seem to arise most often with misunderstandings about I.Q.s and report cards. The experts who work with I.Q. tests say that they generally measure abilities connected with the traditional three R's. reading, writing and arithmetic, plus a fourth reasoning. However, historically, the tests skewed in favor of the white middle- class values and culture.

Recently, efforts have been made to eliminate this bias but it's difficult to erase and this aspect of I.Q.s remains quite controversial. A score of 90 to 108 in an I.Q. test supposedly indicates average intellectual functions. From 80 to 89 is "below average," 70 to 79 is "borderline" and below 70 is considered retarded. On the up side of the scale, HO to 119 is "above average," 120 to 129 is "superior" and beyond that, "very superior." At best, an I.Q.

test evaluates relatively few qualities. It is well known but too often forgotten that I.Q. 21 Measuring Devices Mchele Weaver, does not cover creativity, originality, drive, determination, mechanical aptitudes and a whole range of nonverbal skills such as physical coordination or manual dexterity. Some of these skills may be influenced by one's "intellectual functioning" but some operate entirely independently. Both parents and teachers ought to be privy to a child's I.Q.

scores but they should realize that they are only one indicator of ability. Many children simply don't test well, even in high school and college. Good work in school depends upon a number of factors, such as those unmeasured by I.Q. creativity, originality, drive, nonverbal skills and the spectrum of personality. Many youngsters with just an "average" I.Q.

have graduated from college with distinction and gone on to great success in the business and professional world. For a large number, of parents and children, the basic measure of school performance lies in the report card. But just as with I.Q. scores, too often adults and students wade into a quagmire of misunderstanding, stress and conflict, as well as misguided pride, when they examine the numbers and letters on report cards. People tend to look on the grades in the same way as the day's football scores, to tell who won and who lost.

Some parents that I have known feel it is their duty to become angry, to reprimand or even spank a child for a "bad" report card. Others become so overjoyed by a good one that they hand out inappropriately large rewards, bribes to keep children on their academic toes. Report cards have their limitations. Students bear their own unique potential and rate of growth. A grade of for one youngster may mean much more effort and excellence than an A for another child.

Teachers also have their own quirks. Some grade strictly, penalizing heavily for such items as punctuality, neatness or even handwriting, which may have nothing to do with the level of effort and thought put into a piece of work. Some teachers are influenced by the child who is more verbal and outgoing and a ready participant in class discussions. The shy, reticent youngster may know the topics as well but the teacher can't discern this. If the instructor equates participation with knowledge, then the quiet child will not easily reveal how much he actually knows.

His grade may suffer. I'arcnts should make an el- fort to know their children well enough to determine whether they are working up to their potentials. If a youngster spends a lot of time on the homework but still doesn't do well, perhaps the subject is one that comes very hard for him. Try not to compare your child's school work with yours. His or her talents may lie in different direction and the work done today differs considerably from that of 20 years ago.

Remind yourself that many factors besides intelligence and desire affect grades. A change of schools, a problem with peers, a handicap, significant stages of life such as a move, puberty, menarche all of these can affect performance. Don't measure your child's accomplishments or lack of them wilh others'. Everyone docs this but you should try to keep it to a minimum. Above all, avoid instant rewards and punishments.

Instead, work Inward internal motivation; then the achievement becomes its own very satisfying reward. Women In The News Complaints In Divorce Filed Six divorce complaints have been filed here. They are: Carolyn B. Crist, Lebanon RD 3, vs. Edward S.

ID Paris Premier Raymond Barre announced he will soon name a "delegate for women's condition" to oversee the application of a five-year plan designed to inure full equality of the sexes in France. FRANCOISE GIROUD, a journalist, now a deputy minister for culture, may be Barre's choice. Back in 1974, following his election, President Valery Giscard d'Estaing named Francoise to his cabinet and put her in charge of the condition of women. She was moved to her present post in a recent cabinet sniffle when the ministry for women was abolished.
