[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondered what you all make of this: It's an old story that was on 60 minutes several years ago. I never forgot it. Wondering if the kid attended law school or if his mother actually did: http://articles.courant.com/1995-08-29/news/9508290152_1_elementary-school-teacher-reading-middle-school-student[/quote] There's an interesting sentence from the above article which is dated 1995:- "At Yale, about 40 of the university's 10,000 graduate and undergraduate students have been identified as having learning disabilities, said Fay Hanson, director of Yale's Resource Office on Disabilities." 40/10,000 = 0.4%, compared to the numbers of 20-25% at top universities today being quoted in the Wall St Journal article from 2018?[/quote]
