We have this problem at my school all the time. Parents think because their kid is slow at reading or math that they have a SN. That’s not how it works. Some kids are just slow at reading or math. That’s all. And that doesn’t qualify you for special services. Sorry.
A new DCUM low - putting down children with difficulty reading and writing for requesting help. OMFG. Go to hell
NP
There is literally nothing in that post that puts down children with difficulties in reading or math. Absolutely nothing derogatory was said.
You don’t think it derogatory to say dyslexic children are just slow not SN?!
That’s not what was said AT ALL.
You said many don’t want to say their kids are average intelligence so they say they are SN.
But a huge amount of studied show high/average IQ and dyslexia are treated in school as stupid. Same with ADHD.
So your saying it’s not derogatory to say these kids are “just slow”?
That poster wasn’t me. But it sounds like she was saying not every slow reader deserves a diagnosis. Sometimes a slow reader is just…a slow reader. Same with math.
My daughter (15) is awful at math. So we got her a tutor. I’m pretty sure if we went looking for a diagnosis we would find one. But she doesn’t need a label - she just needs help in math. Because she’s really not good at it.
+1. There’s a difference in kids who have special needs and kids who just aren’t good at math. Both kids may be great at other things. Upper middle class parents just need to label their “not good at math” kid. Maybe they just don’t take to math!
Most kids bad at math should just be labeled as “kids with teachers who cant teachers math”. Hence the need for a tutor.
No sorry. But very DCUM of you to blame am the teacher. A child can be slow at math, and not have a SN or a bad teacher. Some kids are just slower at math. That doesn’t make them bad people. But it’s not always something you can “fix.”
Seriously. Aren't any if you bad at math?
I was and am "bad at math"
I had great teachers and it still didn't come easily to me. I struggled up to and including calculus and then have never used much math again.
I don't have a learning disability.
