it's far easier for parents to think that the actions of their children is due to a mental illness than face up to the fact that their parenting skills are lacking
fucking hell.
i agree with you sooo much. in my time ive seen so many illiterate kids, who were so called dyslexic, getting fucking essays written for them at college, getting loads of extra help, when they should have just fucking learned to read. n like you say. blame the idiot parents for not taking abit of time out to read with their kids. yet they go and blame the schools for not doing it.
and yeah, i have known proper dyslexic kids, who spell and read in a tottally different way to the illiterate muppets.
