Subject: Re: Need for showing respect Author: Russel Van Brocklen (Happy) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:17:41 02/01/11 Tue In reply to: Noor ul Sabah Ali 's message, "Need for showing respect" on 16:08:17 01/30/11 Sun I am glad that you find seven year old has such a good creative imagination. To explain on how this will affect him/her in the future. The education system is set up for general education students, to make sure that they are “well rounded individuals”. However, dyslexic students are note “well rounded individuals”, as it relates to academics. Dyslexic students are specialized, exceptional students in only a limited area of academics. Your children will find going through grade school and college extremely challenging. However, once they go to graduate school everything will change. In graduate school it comes down to one simple question, can a person create real, useful knowledge in their field? If they can, great awards await them. If not, then the student can plan a career with limited accomplishments. This is where being a dyslexic student is extremely unfair. In my case, being severe dyslexic, I was horrible in high school and college. However, when asked by my professors to solve major problems for dyslexic high school students, reading and writing issues for high school dyslexic students, this was very easy for me. It was a lot of work, but in the end I proved that dyslexia is primarily an organization problem. Focus on organizational skills, using analytical content, and the dyslexic students reading and writing issues are quickly resolved. I was strange to see my peers, who did so well as undergraduates, unable to come up with an original idea, no matter how hard they tried. This was much easier for myself, and I found that, at the end of the day, dyslexia was a true advantage. Keep your dyslexic children working towards graduate school, once their creative imagination of theirs will be found to be a true blessing?
