[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 494996, member: 1436"] You know, years ago, this young man would have been encouraged to learn a trade very early on. He may have been targeted for Special Education. Some disabilities just can't be "fixed." Unfortunately, mandates in education have both helped us and harmed us here in the US. We are under the notion that everyone can learn at the same pace, and with standardized education, that is the way we approach it across the board. We are leaving some behind---both those who can learn and those with learning disabilities. We offer very little vocational education---and as we move from a manufacturing to a service job market, well, we must provide training the trades for those who will not/can not go to college.
