Dyscalculia: News from the web:

We don’t want to repeat all the information that has been going around about the college application scandal but link to an article that outlines possible or probable consequences for students with disabilities. Here is a quote:

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

In our link for today the story from someone who kept her troubles with math a secret. Unfortunately our school system is such that this can go unnoticed.

Now the reason that I got good grades was that I copied everyone’s homework and was a great student.

I was in the honors classes track, so surely I was such a good student so eager to learn that I could not get a C grade or lower.
