    First off, it’s insulting that she referred to dyslexia as a mental handicap. Secondly, it doesn’t matter whether or not she has the time. Under the ADA and as a requirement for state and federal funding she is required to make the time. It’s part of her job. At the very least she should’ve directed you to the disabilities office where they would’ve found ways to help you compensate for dyslexia. And they’re usually willing to do anything from just reviewing your papers for grammer all the way to sitting in class and taking your notes for you and writing your papers as you dictate. And it isn’t a privelage to go to a public college. You’re paying money to go there. That entitles you to some things. Your instructers are being paid to work there, it’s their privelage.     If I were you, I’d go and bitch to the dean about what happens. You’ll give the school another reason not to rehire this teacher for the next semester, and you should be able to get your tuition payment refunded too. It might be a little bit too late for that now, but it doesn’t hurt to try. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – PS. sorry about spelling I pout fro spell checker a couple of time I hope I got that spelling fixed.

i don’t know your exact details but from what you’ve said and looking at your website you have a love of music, i don’t know what areas you would find diffucult as disexica is such a broad church, but with motivation you can over come hurdles, it might be diffuicult but not impossible. the chances are very high that the teacher is not a expert in dyslexica, so i would take his advice and put it where it desirves to go the problem with dyslexica is one its just a catch all fraze and secondly people even people who should do often don’t attually have any apreationation of what it means. i susgest you take a vistit to the suport staff at the college and get help, if you haven’t been stamented that needs to be done, this is also so the tutors have to offically take into considration spelling grammer etc, also if you don’t have a laptop i’ve found they seem quite keen on giving them out lol! roger and out — usr is wodger

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’m really sorry to hear about the ruff time you’ve had dealing with people concerning your dyslexia.  That teacher was very ignorant.  Not enough people know and understand what dyslexia is all about.  You may have trouble with the language part of academics but you are probably very gifted in other areas.  Sound and audio sounds like a very good field for someone with dyslexia.  I really hope that you didn’t drop the course and that you found some help to get through the ruff spots.  You can’t let ignorance stand in your way or the dyslexia will hold you back.  It all comes down to you believing in yourself!  You may have to fight harder but you know what they say, "what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger".  Aren’t you worth it? My husband and son have dyslexia.  My husband went through public school (dropped out in grade and ended up working in a textile factory.  He had a low opinion of himself also.  I saw all of the special gifts he had inside and encouraged him to follow his dream.  His passion was heavy machinery. He went to a truckers school (one of the best in the world), he didn’t let anyone tell him that he wasn’t able or maybe he shouldn’t be there, let them put up with all of the spelling mistakes (he wasn’t there for spelling but to learn how to drive a rig) and passed with the highest grades of the class.  He’s now driving a rig and transporting heavy machinery.  He makes a good salary and by doing all of this, his self esteem is way up there. Life is all a choice.  Make the right one.  Yes, a lot of dyslexics are delinquents or in jail.  That’s the easy way out.  It’s not the dyslexia holding them back.  There are a lot of very good jobs out there where dyslexics can excel.  Look at Bill Gates from Microsoft.  He has dyslexia and it didn’t stop him.   It didn’t stop my husband, my brother, and it won’t stop my son.  Geez, he’s 7 years old and can already drive most of the heavy machinery and trucks very well (a lot better than me).  He has the same special gift as his father.  An excellent eye hand coordination.  He may not become a poet, lawyer or professor in a university but he could become a trucker, teacher, fireman, policeman, construction, pilot and the list goes on.

* Hi! The new mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsome, is dyslexic.  He is a terrific guy who has surprised many of us.  He has received nothing but praise from both his supporters and those who supported his opponent in the last election. He should stand as a great example for all dyslexic people. earle * —               __            __/_           /_/_/           /_/_     earle              /_/     jones

Hi Neil When I was at school, I always wanted to work with computers and electronics. Always pulling things apart to see how they work, sometimes to see if I could make them myself I was always in the remedial classes all through school, and was told one that if I wanted to do electronics and computers that I would need to know physics and math’s. Because I was in the remedial class they said it will be no point in me trying to do those subjects as I don’t have the math’s skills. For me being in being in the remedial classes was like someone that spoke English living with people that spoke other languages and the teachers and the world were speaking broken English. I knew deep down I did not belong to that group, but found it very hard fitting into the world. I have to find my own route to do the things that I wanted to do. I think that God has blessed me with a strong will ) So I never gave up my quest to do what I wanted to do, my dermas as a child To day I work for AT&T as a network Technician, working with computers and network equipment. I use to deal with multinationals and their data networks across the world, I am now based on one of our customers site doing all of their UK and world wide links support. What am I saying, if you have a dream, don’t let anyone kill that dream or stop you, examine all avenues that are available to you to peruse that dream. Maybe you may not be able to live your dream, but think of all the things that you will learn and pickup along the way Hope this helps someone Regards Leslie…UK:-) PS. Message to parents, don’t give up on your son and daughter just because they are not doing things the way they you think that they should be doing it. Or the way that other kids are doing it, help they to find the way that is best for them.
