[quote=Anonymous]To the typo obsessed, replace foreign language with math in OP's question. The issue is one of content in High School.

OP, next time an error comes up, encourage your student to ask the teacher to explain it. Don't think of it as the teacher being wrong. Approach it as an opportunity to clarify why the student has a different understanding of the concept.

For example, if it's a worksheet, have student write on it, "Mr. Teacher, I'm a little confused. I was taught previously to translate (or conjugate) this term as xyz. You have it as PDQ. Could you explain it to me?" It could be something as simple as a typo that never got corrected on the worksheet and nobody has noticed.

If they don't explain it to your child, then you send a request asking them to explain it you.

Approach it like math, give the teacher a chance, if they can't, send it to the head of the language department asking how best to address these types of situations moving forward.

Dyslexia is completely irrelevant to this situation.[/quote]
