Thumbs down Re: Typoglycemia

My eldest son was lousy at reading and writing early on in school. He was sent to a tutor, by the school system to learn about phonetics. Hooked on phonics huh, now he is about the worst speller I know My wife and I love to get letters from him, they make us laugh for hours with the errors. It's a sad commentary on the way the school system works. Is Ebonics next? I can't wait to see what they teach my grandson
