When learning disabilities aren't genetic and what you can do about it. How schools trick you into dumbing-down your child... and how to stop them cold. Early reading the right way "If the student doesn't learn, the teacher hasn't taught." (Tarver, 1999) Is your child's school really telling you the truth? Five ways to tell: 1. Does your child's school teach by the look-say method? 2. Does it use the child-led discovery method? 3. Does your child's teacher say s/he can't concentrate and needs medication? 4. Does your child's school blame his/her misbehavior on you, the parent(s)? 5. Does it use "reform" mathematics? If your child has been "diagnosed" with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning disabilities, AND was taught by any of the above methods, the LD was probably induced by those faulty teaching methods. Or your child may be gifted, but bored. Or has lost confidence due to the self-fulfilling prophecy of being told that s/he has problems.
