[quote=Anonymous]There is a large difference between nonverbal kids and those with low normal language skills. The former will get SN supports, at least by law they should, but the latter will not. No one is arguing that nonverbal kids who are good at math are easily hired--they are not. But you do not need high language skills to succeed at tech--low normal will do. You may not make it to the highest levels or the most prestigious companies, but you can do well enough, particularly if you have really outstanding quantitative skills. The concern is that those sorts of people will be deemed low normal at math as well because common core is being implemented in such a language heavy way. This sets them up for not succeeding in an area they could do well in and actually much better than high verbal, low normal quantitative kids who are being catered to in this type of implementation.[/quote]
