[senco-forum] 'SEN kids will contribute exactly whattotheeconomy?'

I didn't say they couldn't read or write .... though EMI's owner, Guy Hands,
still reads and writes with considerable difficulty. According to the
Observer yesterday 'He hates people who say "dyslexia is no bad thing, look
at all the famous people who've got it". He will not shirk from saying: "I
really wish I could read".'

I tend to agree with Martin. It's about  self esteem, confidence and helping
them to gain skills for life.

Though having read Mary's comment, I wonder if  I'm actually doing these
children any favours in working to improve their reading & writing skills...
