    I can see why you would think that the term fragile learners could stem from the assumption that community college learners aren't good enough to go to a university. I didn't think about that possibility, but I'm not sure why professors would take that into account. I decided to start my education at a community college because of the choices that I made in high school. I didn't make good grades, I skipped school, I did horrible on my SATs, and I dropped out during senior year. I knew that it probably wouldn't look great on my applications to a university…

    Developmental dyslexia was defined in 1968 by the World Federation of Neurology as a disorder that illustrates difficulty in learning to read despite typical intelligence and education. However, intelligence is no longer considered essential for a dyslexia diagnosis. Morgan (1896) first recognized this condition when he examined a 14-year old boy for his vision because his parents thought that his inability of learning to read was due to vision impairments. He termed this condition as congenital word blindness because he found the boy’s vision to be intact but printed words were found to have no significance to him. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, an individual should be diagnosed with dyslexia if their…
