If LD students’ brains aren’t wired the way schools teach and test, then a C is fine. I have bad vision, even with corrective lenses. If I were required to take an archery course, I’d be lucky to get a C.

The meds may do the trick, but even with meds, students have different skill sets and different strengths/weaknesses - - you may continue to see Cs on the report card. But as Mitdu posted above, even a C student can go to college, graduate and lead a happy, productive life. (Though I do understand parents’ concern that, b/c of C grades, their respective children will have fewer options/opportunities than students with higher GPAs.)
