I truly hope that despite ever worsening education in the USA bias against learning styles and human interests have changed since. One school, my bro M had a speech impediment. It was deemed low intelligence and he was treated poorly. His intellect was not impaired in the least.

My younger sister is dyslexic, manifested abt age 7, & the school wanted to put her in 'special ed' (1960's term). Absolutely nothing wrong with her intellect! My mom fought like hell to prevent that and succeeded.
