My dc has been diagnosed with dyslexia. I am really concerned about his self esteem. I volunteer in school and when some of his peers discover his results I hear some of them whisper etc. He’s due to go to high school in a couple of years and I worry about his experience there. He works really, really hard at school but no matter how much he tries he does not reap the academic benefits. Over time that’s going to affect you isn’t it? He has a fantastic friendship group and I know they help so much by primary school and high school are different places aren’t they. I don’t imagine he will get any GCSEs so would he just be wasting his time and damaging his self esteem in the process?

Is there any point in sending a dc to school who has dyslexia?
