RE: Dyslexia and Dyscalculia 난독증
Wonderful @mineopoly! I am so glad for the growing awareness that all odd-balls are not crazy or just plain stupid and for the work that teachers like you are doing in this field.
I know the pain a child (and a grown-up!) can suffer from your grey matter just tending to look at things a little differently - the automatic discrimination by peers and patrons of the 'normal' tribe alike can be devastating.
We are all different, but at the bottom line we all seek the same result: happiness - that special kind of joy that comes from knowing that everything in our lives that needs to be secure is in fact secure and that we have the freedom and the courage to contribute to quality of life where we can.
Thank you for your comment @clicketyclik. It has taken me some time to come up with some clackety clack for you.
"Normal" is such an interesting word. It comes from "norm". So there is an average and below average and above average but actually all these tests and scores give no indication as to the human inside. Kids suffer a lot because of this.
There is no guaranteed security in this lifetime. Even if we do work our butts off and make the right investments and meet the right people we can't keep what we have and even if we do we can't take it with us. I'm not even sure if I know what quality of life is anymore but if a kid is ostracized because he can't follow along that is not quality. So I have a picture of what quality of life isn't.
Yes, lasting security is as much of an ideal as lasting happiness; at least by understanding that the goal of fulfillment in peace for everyone is in the end the same, enables us to appreciate the basic needs of all alike and the challenge of enabling those who do not fit the 'norm'.
Thanks again for the understanding and for beautiful work done by you and your colleagues!
