There is not ...Yes it was a really rubbish article. <BR/><BR/>There is not enough recognition of 'invisible' disabilities anyway and that sort of thing won't help at all. Though I do sort of agree that bad teaching is implicated too, not as the cause of the dyslexia but as a factor in allowing it to destroy children's self esteem and future prospects in the way it so often does.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the wishes for Son 1. He is not being entirely altruistic, as he knows it will look good on his CV. But I reckon it will be fantastic for him as well as helping others and he is getting paid...Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103529618681254875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-33231527331767243972009-01-14T13:30:00.000+00:002009-01-14T13:30:00.000+00:00These sorts of things make me so angry.

What so now I near to worry that he'll "play truant. Drugs, burglaries, robberies and worse then often follow"? ... sheeeeesh! Why are we listening to these people?<BR/><BR/>And as for your Son 1 - I feel quite emotional reading about his new venture. I wish him every happiness and success xCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470638074202676460noreply@blogger.com
