I don't recall ever getting accused of lying like that, except in Kindergarten by a substitute. She told me I couldn't read, and told me to demonstrate. So I started reading posters on the wall. She then told me "You just memorized what the words look like!" By then I was terrified, but remember thinking, "How do you do it?"
--Ben My best friend and I had similar experiences to this. We were both "diagnosed" as bad readers in the third grade, because we were bad spellers. His diagnosis was turned over immediately after his mother marched into the principles office and had my friend read passages from the bible for the principle. I was actually sent into a remedial reading program, which I kind of like really nice teacher. But I was also kicked out when during the first parent teacher conference the teacher learned I was reading an un-illustrated copy of "Black Beauty". I then went on to read "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The epilog to this story is that four years later in a seventh grade literature class assignment where I was supposed to pick a book to read, the teacher was reluctant to let me read the Tolkien books, because they where too advanced. I was able to convincer her to let me try. Didn't let on it was my third reading of the books. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
