[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 495039, member: 1514"] EW is right. I know several people just like that man and they live near me now. One boy is about Cory's age and he dropped out of school when Jamie graduated because Jamie was doing all his work for him because he simply couldnt read a thing. He was smart enough to get by with memorizing things to talk in the classroom but Jamie had to read everything to him. He now works construction. Jamie tried telling his parents when he was just a little kid that he had a learning disability but they told him the boy wasnt retarded and he could learn if he wanted. They refused to have him tested. Sigh. That happened to many kids in my boys classes in elementary school. My boys knew what Learning Disability (LD)'s meant because of Billy. They knew Billy wasnt retarded, he was smart, he just needed some help with some things. [/QUOTE]
