A Labour MP has claimed dyslexia is a myth to cover up bad teaching of reading and writing.
Graham Stringer, MP for Manchester Blackley, also suggested there was a link between illiteracy and crime - as prisons were full of people unable to read and write.
He described the condition as a "cruel fiction" and suggested the dyslexia "industry" should be "killed off" through the "magic bullet" of teaching children to read and write by using a phonetic system of sounding letters and words.

lol does this guy realise that dyslexia doesn't just relate to reading and writing or even just maths. I have dyslexia that relates to my short term memory, yet I score 130 in each of the other IQ sections, spatial reasoning, reading/writing and maths. So much for his magical theory.

Im surprised on of our MPs is so ignorant. O no. Wait. No im not. Our politicians are surprising ignorant.

I didn't know your short term memory was that bad so as to contradict yourself that quickly!

Member of Parliament...

But I used to think this. Ever since I played Tomb Raider and was shooting all the MP's.

I was confused when I saw them in real life and they had no guns and were all old...

I'm dyslectic myself, I think I have written something but in reality I haven't, like with words or I write a completely different word that doesn't make it logical.

always fun to triple check everything.

I think the bad teaching reflects more on him, that he can still (at his age and place) make such a retarded claim.

Would writing a completely different word than the one you were thinking of fall under dyslexia?

if so

well I guess it sounds different here that it is, can't really explain it.

or we have different standards then what falls under it or not.

If you do what I generally do then its more of a Freudian slip. I generally mean to write something when taking notes or writing an essay etc... I look down and realise that as I've been thinking of something else whilst writing it I've put in words that I was thinking of rather than the words I intended to write.

Its very much a *facepalm* situation.

Actually, you would be surprised at the number of kids who fail the test deliberately just so they can get extra time.

hmm yeah

anyway,

Dyslexia with myself became less and less over the years, guess only thing to do is give 500% when everyone else gives 100% or so.

and pretty much being diagnosed as being dumb back in the day I guess (dunno how it is now in High School).

and now I am doing a HBO(Higher Business) study with a great score for Dutch grammar, so a big "FUCK YOU" to my high school teachers.
