READING Dr Mullai A. Ramaiah’s findings on dyslexia, “Decoding dyslexia” (StarLifestyle, Nov 27), the plight of some of my weak students came to my mind. I am a retired senior physics teacher with 25 years of experience.
During training, we were not taught how to handle students with disability like dyslexia or autism. As such, anyone who could not read or write was regarded as stupid and was relegated to the last of the streamed classes. No teacher was happy going to those classes. Every year, I was given three or more of them with the excuse that I could deal with them.
