I am writing a paper on LD (I have LD) and was writing about my experience in school how much I hated it and how children and parents have the wrong impression of children with LD. I guess what I am asking is how are your children handling school? Are they still being noticed as “Stupid”? How are the students with the teachers are they actually being helped properly? Thanks
Snerby,
I am a person with LD and also a teacher. I was called “slow” when I was in elementary school by my own siblings. I actually had a student in my science class as if they could get the “stupid” version of a test the other day. Meaning the one for the kids with the math LD’s, which was modified in math content. I was quite stern with her. I don’t allow name calling in my class, nor use of the word “stupid.”
Some kids are being helped properly, but some are not. There are, unfortunately, still teachers out there with no clue about the issue.
