Because They've Earned It

Yet again I hear an argument based on the fact that a few have achieved what is difficult. For every one who had succeeded despite dyslexia, I can show another five whose lives and self esteem have been irreparably damaged. We as a society lose so much through those people.
I have, in my time as a literacy tutor, met people who were so bright and yet so damaged by life and their early schooling, that they will likely never contribute to society as a whole.....but they could have done so much. It's truly heartbreaking.
