[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe college isn't the right choice. Trade school is highly underrated--stylists/mechanics/plumbers routinely make 6 figures.[/quote] While that is true for some kids there is [b]nothing wrong with shooting high[/b] for LD kids. They are often smart, and even gifted, but just have learning differences. My DC is LD/ADHD, will be graduating from a top 30 college this year and has been accepted to a good graduate school for next year. Just because a kid has LDs doesn't mean they have limited options.[/quote] Pro tip: it's not "shooting low" to perfect a trade or become a skilled craftsman. [/quote] Not saying that it is but also don't like the advice that every LD kid should go to CC or become a plumber. There are kids with LDs who will excel at that and kids who want to do other things, just like kids without LDs. [/quote]
