[quote=Anonymous]I'm feeling quietly mournful on behalf of my son. My DS is dyslexic. School is hard for him. He gets As and Bs in a mix of AP-Honors/College Prep courses. He works his butt off. Nothing comes easy. I feel like it's just the All-AP, All-A kids who get into top schools these days. Maybe it's just this board. My kid isn't "average": He's super funny, clever in art and video editing, but he will never be the kid who yearns to pen a 10-page essay on Chaucer, sails through Spanish, or who takes Advanced Calculus II. And it feels as though his future options will be limited for this reason. I just don't know where to go or where to turn. This is a first-world issue. I know that there are thousands of colleges out there. But the ones that seem to convey solid outcomes, a plugged-in network, an upwardly mobile career? It feels as though this is out of reach. Just venting here. I am sure most on this board cannot relate. But maybe some can. [/quote]
