kerou Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah. I mean you can tell her parents helped her write a lot of this speech, but it's true. Funny story, I grew up in Florida. When my brother and I were in elementary, my mom got pissed at the school system and took us out and put us into a private school. They were trying to hop me up on ADHD drugs and they wanted to hold my brother back for not doing well on his FCAT since he had 'dyslexia'. We're now professionals, I'm an engineer and he's a dentist. Out apparent 'disabilities' were only a disability in a ass-backwards school system. Otherwise, they were just pros and cons--strengths and weaknesses. A different wiring in our brain that and gave us thought patterns different from the norm. There was no disability involved. But standardize testing doesn't take that kind of thing into account (pattern recognition, creative solutions, etc) ...You know what does take all of that and skills + abilities into account? IQ tests! 2
