My 11 yr old has recently moved onto Middle school. He was diognosed with Dyslexia about 3 yrs ago. He has always been in a regular classroom setting and taken out (during the same time Reading and Math were gone over)to his resource teacher. Now his middle school they took him out of the middle of class and changed his classes. They have put him in an EC class. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I've managed to keep his confidence up, even when he has stated that he wished he was normal. Just need advice on what other parents are facing. I called the school and they said that the resource teacher stays in that class all day but I dont see where that is a positive learning enviroment for him. He said one girl in his class cant even speak, and theres another one that has on a body brace. He also has his electives taken from him. So he also is sent to a Reading lab instead of electives. He feels as though he is being punished for this Dyslexia that he has no control over. He has worked sooo hard to even get on the A/B Honor Roll 3 times in Elementary School and he has performed the best in math than anyone in the 5th grade. So I'm really seeking advice here!!!!!
