Dyslexia

I was going to buy 100 feet of electrical cord today because my 14 year old one was wearing out. So, I put it in recycling and got in my truck and drove to an Ace Hardware store nearby. I found the 100 foot cord and found something to roll it up on so it doesn't tangle at that length and went to check out but when I gave the lady my telephone number for the discount she kept getting the numbers wrong. I assumed she was dyslexic like my son and one of my daughters and so I told her about how my daughter had been one of the brightest at a private school for dyslexics and different learners and how she had still been able to get into the most scholasticly hard private schools in my county which sends many students places like Harvard, Yale, Stanford and other prestigious universities and colleges ever year. I also told her that most of the Really successful entrepreneurs tend to be dyslexic too because they are able to make stupendous intuitive jumps and be right like Einstein did.

However, most people are not dyslexic and neither am I. However, my mother, my grandmother, and my best friend's mother and brother were dyslexic so both my friend and I seem to be able to think both regular and dyslexic both because our mothers were dyslexic. There are advantages to both ways of thinking. For example, one of the reasons I'm a good intuitive is that I am able to process information both ways so when I was dying of whooping cough and Blunt trauma childhood epilepsy I had multiple ways of surviving these illnesses that many people who are one or the other but not capable of integrating both ways of thinking like my friend and I. So, we can take the advantages of both systems of thought and use them to amazing advantages in all situations.

For example, a regular thinker tends to think 1,2,3,4, 5, 6,7,8,9,10.

However, a dyslexic or different learner  might think 1, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000 and be right about those intuitive jumps every single time. So, there are advantages to both ways of thinking in different situations.

However, since U.S. public schools are NOT designed to teach dyslexics or different learner they are going to lie to you as a parent. You have to either teach them yourselves or send them to a private school that specializes in different learners or you will be harming these kids.

Though I didn't know my son was dyslexic until he was in his teens luckily we started he and his stepbrother and stepsister at:

   This was and is an Independent study program for you child valid in all states. So, you won't get into trouble with your local public school system. Even though you might not have a teaching credential you are being covered by accredited teachers to who do. They send a study program for you child by grade for you to teach them with. Then you can (if you wish) add all sorts of other things into their lives to enrich them learning wise. For example, we traveled a lot to Idaho and to Canada and to Washingon to see the Orcas on the San Juan Islands there. My oldest stepson came within 5 feet of an Orca and saw him eye to eye and was very pleased because he was always into Orcas and sharks ever since. Now he is a Fire Captain with CDF here in California.
