[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 11th grader was bummed by his score too. He scored out of line with all his previous standards testing, including past PSATs. He has dyslexia. Sometimes you have a slightly off day. [/quote]

Dyslexia is a very difficult learning disability to overcome.  I hope you’re not expecting too much.  Same with OP.  Parents sometimes think their child is brilliant when the child is a very good student but not brilliant, not in the top 10%.   Be happy for how well they are doing.   [/quote]

NP. You might be shocked to learn that kids can have a learning disability and still be brilliant. Ever hear of 2E kids? Your post drips with condescension. [/quote]

No it’s not condescending.   My son has a learning disability.  Testing shows that he is way above grade level with one on one testing. His test scores and IQ results would put him in the 95%tile for his grade.   But he can’t do well in the classroom.  He can’t do well with independent homework.   He is not twice exceptional.

Having dyslexia is a roadblock that most kids are lucky enough not to have.  To acknowledge that your child has to work so much harder than others has to be taken into consideration.
