    I can't believe the teachers have never picked up on anything, what a great job you are doing.

    stories like this make me embarrassed to be a teacher. Our system fails so many kids it's ridiculous! I can't believe that none of his teachers thought to go back to basics with him, this is the problem with a school system that pushes teachers to advance the high achievers and places so many time constraints and restrictions on staff that students who are struggling, or like your DS have missed something along the way get left behind because there simply isn't time. Believe me- I'm not trying to make excuses, even if the teachers didn't have time in class to work with your son, they should have been communicating with you about things you could have been doing at home.

    Well done to you and your DS, I hope his new found love of words continues.

    Oh- and your first question- who you should be more upset with? The people who have as their core business the education of your son and have failed him! The school and teachers!!
