[quote=Anonymous]We have looked into it for our 2E daughter (dyslexia).  We decided it would not be a good fit for her combination of talents/challenges.  For one thing, I felt like there was too much of an emphasis and reward system for “fast”  and “competition” — not meeting each child individually and moving them forward but putting them against one another in a friendly (if it works for you) or frantic (if it does not) environment.  Also, they did not have generally accepted dyslexia-friendly foreign language options like American Sign Language.  So I felt DD would be more hamstrung by her challenges than set free to explore her math/science strengths, if that makes sense.  I do love tons of what they do, and I really like them as individuals, and I am rooting for them, but even though I keep trying to go back and give it another chance, I keep walking away thinking, “Yeah, that’s right, that is why I thought it wasn’t right last time too.”  :(  But I feel like I am like a fan girl or something because I do really really want to like them so much!!
