I used to work with disabled children (dyslexia etc..) just to help them learn how to read and understand. I am not a teacher since im unable to hold a full time job due to sickness, but i put in 4hrs a day on a VOLUNTARY basis and so I saw the sad side of the educational system. My wife is a bilingual speech therapist for the school district and she tells me stories which make my hair stand on end
