i dont want to seem mad when i say this but Ihope you have this so wrong, at least i think so. I am a student with an LD. I am the kid who gets extra time and tests as well as them read to me, and honestly i am one of the top students in all my classes. Just because I have an LD and do well does not mean i abuse it. I go through testing every few years. I am evaluated by my teachers and have meetings to talk about my LD often. There is no playing the system at least at my school. The reality is that students with LD’s are just as bright as any other student we just learn differently, get the name? We are often students who are more determined and focused to accomplish tasks that at times seem as if there is no light at the end of the tunnel. So forgive me but I am offended that you think that we are automatically stupid just because we learn differently.
