@jeffowski@mastodon.world There was no mercy for ND boomer kids. One time in 5th grade a substitute teacher was offended by my squirming and moving legs constantly they tied my foot to the desk. Same teacher that made a dyslexic kid write out a long word on the blackboard. It was written backwards, of course, and everyone laughed at them. That was so cruel.

@timo21@mastodon.sdf.org @jeffowski@mastodon.world Guess which dyscalculia-kid had the math-homework he - even if you´d put a gun to his head - couldn´t solve at home to perform in front of all other kids at the blackboard.

@timo21@mastodon.sdf.org @jeffowski@mastodon.world That’s up there with forcing left-handed kids to use their right hand, a smack with a ruler if necessary. 😮
