There should be an alternative to education also. Some children will never be good at academia but can go on to doing great things with their skill set. My friend was dyslexic growing up and got teased wrotten, with his confidence shot he left school got working at his uncles car garage and now has a thriving business of his own.

Education should be a term which includes the trades. IMO we need a system where dyslexia is recognised as having zero impact on intelligence or the ability to absorb and manifest information. I totally agree, BTW, that not being oriented towards academia should never preclude someone from having a great career/life; in that regard we need to embrace and spotlight the importance of trades (indeed, society crumbles without them). I hope, too, those who do not engage in academia can at least receive a proficient level of world knowledge and global awareness to make informed decisions beyond what some X head is screaming...

Im dyslexic, yet have a 1st & a PhD from one of the best universities in the world, and have published books. There's other techniques you can learn to read and write well if your brain doesnt do it the standard way. Computers also cover most of the issues and have done for a long time. Education being mass produced at too big a scale is really the only barrier for young dyslexics
