My wife is a former teacher. She works with students who have difficulty in reading and spelling. The kinds of students she helps were once said to have a “learning disability”. We don’t say that anymore. Today, acknowledging that human beings process information in a variety of ways, we say that these kids have a “learning difference”.
There you go. Academically, the enlightened view nowadays is that all students are different, that their brains are all wired in unique ways, and that it’s wrong to try to assess them with a one-size-fits-all standard to determine who is intelligent and who isn’t. It is agreed that children’s brains come in all shapes and sizes.
So why not be really enlightened and learn to think the same way about children’s bodies?
