Teaching Disabilities
Not Learning Disabilities
Differential diagnosis
Thousands of American educators suffer in isolation, shamed into blaming creative kids because of a silent epidemic: teaching disabilities.
Iâve been told Iâm, dyslexic, dysgraphic, color blind, processing impaired w low executive functioning, ADD & I suffer from kinesthetic reinforcement deficits.
Which is all BS. I wasnât meant for educators, as those are actually their issues with me (i.e. teaching disabilities).
What were your learning disabilities as a kid, @EricRWeinstein? Their existence was mentioned in passing in at least two podcasts, but google yields no further explanation. Someone enlighten me.
People think Iâm kidding about teaching disabilities. Iâm not.
For example, people with typical color vision have no idea how many tasks are gratuitously & unnecessarily dependent on color coding. If youâre color blind, âeducatorsâ get furious with you for wasting class time!
You come to hate yourself because as a kid picked on by almost every teacher for wasting class time, you donât have the courage to say âWait a minute. What if Iâm totally fine the way I am and itâs an entire âeducatorâ cult, bigoted & biased toward their beloved neurotypicals?â
Itâs too big a thought for a kid. Too crazy even for most adults. But ask this: why is a geometry problem color coded when color blindness is relatively common? Why is reading music so important to most teachers when many musicians canât read? Itâs in the economics of teaching.
