My nefew is going thru a terrible time with her 8yr sons' Public School's Dean and teacher.

He is dyslexic and the teacher purposefull embaraces him by calling on him to read. My sister begged the Dean for another teacher, one more understanding and patient (which they apperently have), but the Dean is giving excuses that she cant do anything. We dont trust that but are helpless. What can we do? Is there anything we can do immediately? My boy is a very smart little guy and should not be treated this way, becasue he can't process reading like the rest of us. His self-esteem and confidence has plumeted in the last 2 months.

Is there anything we can do immidetely?
What are public school responsible for, anything? Must they offer anything specifically for us?
