[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.

[b]Most kids with LDd are still below average students. That’s just a fact.[/b] [/quote]. Please provide a link that backs your assertion. [/quote]
