twinmomma,I saw it over the holidays. Loved the music and the choreography. And I adore Hugh Jackman. I need to get the soundtrack.
DD2,
Thank you for bringing the worst cold I've had in years to our house and sharing it with the rest of the family. I love you, but I don't love your germs. We have to do better at containing them. Remember to cover your cough and always wash your hands.
In our case, I actually don't believe it's a district wide problem even. For instance, she also told me that the assistant principal of our school transferred her child to a neighboring elementary school after his diagnosis because she knew he would get better support there. I think our school just sucks in this area.
Having said that, this mom did tell me that even as they said he child wasn't dyslexic, they offered her kid 25 minutes, 2 times per week with a reading specialist even when they said she wasn't dyslexic and this mom took it, it just didn't help b/c if your kid is actually dyslexic that's not going to be enough.

Yes and I have heard (no personal experience) that a lot of those reading programs don't help with dyslexia. They have to do one that is proven to work with dyslexia which maybe the school has maybe they don't.
The different dyslexia programs are crazy different too. My BFF is a local diagnostician SPED lead, and the different districts she had worked in all have a different approach. She’s one of those people who “I don’t know how she does it”. I could never do her job.
