[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can have an LD and still be stupid, a bad student, or a C student. You can have ADHD and still get Cs and still be a below average student. [/quote]

What is this fixation with calling children stupid?[/quote]

I’m just using the words used by posters on this thread. A pp before my original post said something like, “if we didn’t find out dd was dyslexic people would just assume she were stupid.”

I don’t like the word, stupid, for kids. But a few posters have used it to describe kids who struggle in school and don’t have a diagnosis. That’s terrible! My original post was meant to point out that just because your kid has a diagnosis it doesn’t magically make them no longer struggle in school. It’s not some excuse. An average student is an average student with or without a diagnosis.

Most kids with LDd are still below average students. That’s just a fact. [/quote]

So you call LD kids stupid ima number of  times. After people reply and point out that some kids with diagnoses are likely smarter then your own slow kid, you get all butthurt.
