Coping with DyslexiaCausing Trouble



Some dyslexics want to get into trouble. That's the case with Benton. In class, he is sometimes asked to read aloud or write on the board. Instead, he talks back to his teacher. That lands him in the principal's office. Benton is phased by that. It gets him out of class, so no one can make fun of him.



Of course, getting kicked out of class doesn't really help Benton. It makes him fall further behind. Sometimes he is suspended from school. And he never gets help for his reading problems. Instead, teachers think he has emotional problems.
