I've always been fascinated by those who struggle in school. Each struggling learner has his own difficulties, barriers that stand between him and achievement. Some are silent sufferers, others act out in small or destructive ways. Some become good parents, employees, and citizens. And still others turn their lives totally around to become highly successful in business, science, or the arts.

What bothers me is that too often, many children, at an early age, get written off as failures and are blamed for their learning difficulties, as if they have the ability to do something about them. In actual fact, they are often victims. Victims of poverty, hunger, neglect, child abuse, even learning disabilities.
