“She graduated from a Connecticut High School with Honors, But She Cannot Read”

She has severe learning disabilities.   ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety disorder, ODD, communication disorder.  And bullying from a special d teacher?  It goes without saying if she had gone to a better school she’d be doing much better.

But she put the work in to try and overcome her disabilities.  With better help and guiding her to the latest technology that helps students with her disabilities she would probably greatly improve.  [/quote]

Meant to add:  Plus, why should she be denied high school graduation with honors (and university admission) just because she cannot read? [/quote]

Most people are not blaming her, but the system that passed her without the skills.

But I can’t tell if you are serious or not with your last statement. Surely in order to graduate from high school one should be literate. My own sibling was born with an intellectual disability and has an IQ of 55. I love him dearly but he is NOT a high school graduate, and certainly did not receive academic honors, nor did he attend college. Do you think every person has a right to these things?[/quote]
