What is it like being dyslexic in school today?
"Illiterate means you can't read, kind of like being dyslexic."
- A teacher during a vocabulary review with an 8th-grade class, including at least three dyslexic students.
"Oh, you'd think I was dyslexic."
- A teacher to a student after misreading something, with a dyslexic student nearby.
"Two-thirds of the kids in this school are stupid, and it's mostly those with learning differences."
- A high-achieving student, unaware that students with learning differences make up less than 10% of the school.
Real-Life Impact
These examples are real and recent and highlight the biases and misconceptions dyslexic students face daily, which affect their self-esteem and educational opportunities.
Despite their abilities and creativity, dyslexic students often find themselves marginalized, misunderstood, and underestimated.
The focus should be on recognizing and supporting their potential rather than perpetuating outdated stereotypes and restrictive policies.
