public schools in the states do this with ADHD and ADD and Dyslexia.

The parents get freebees, the school get money. The child grows into an adult who had a permanent excuse for failures.

This article is about England, smart eyes. In the US they put you on a 504 and otherwise do practically nothing (ie, they give you an extra day to get your hw in) for the true dyslexic, which is probably between 3 and 5 % of all kids. If its a scam to get taxpayer money to the schools for doing nothing, than I would say theyre doing very well, here.

..Personally, I spent tens of thousands to get my kid help, and first thing I did was pull him out of the public schools. Feh.
