    This is not only to make us aware of dyslexia but also shows us that a great teacher can bring wonderful talents to the world. Thank you for such a great film

      I totally agree. I pray that no child or adult feels or is made to feel stupid or different, beacuse of their dyslexia. They can and do reach the highest levels.

      I didn't have dyslexia but I had no confidence at all, but all through my school years my teachers encouraged me when they saw my potential. I often think of them, through infants, primary and secondary schools and I thank God for them. I only wish I'd been more able to tell them at the time just how grateful I was! XXX

    It was hard watching his teacher be so impatient and annoyed with him.She realized how dismissive she was with him when the other teacher presented the boy who was so brilliant. Teachers make a difference, good or bad.

    As someone who thought he was intellectually challenged until I reached High School, this film hit me like a ton of bricks. Teachers need to be taught that intelligence varies quite a bit. Some children can repeat things verbatim and not have much understanding of the subject matter, while others think more abstractly. This teacher who helped bring out the best in this young boy is a true gem. A teacher who sees her job in a narrow way can really traumatize those kids who are a bit different. I had a teacher who was emotionally abusive when I was second grade. It took me years to heal from that nasty women.

    Such a wonderful gentle teacher to have taken her student under her wings teaching
    him with patienc, love and compassion. A child can and would soar in the hands and heart of a wonderful gentle guide... his teacher.

    😭😭😭 BEAUTIFUL! What a difference the right teachers make. Even though I had college level reading skills in grade school, my report cards were always less than satisfactory and no one ever bothered to find out why. I was beaten and riduculed by my teachers and hated school so much I never continued on past what was required. Kudos to those special souls who can literally change the trajectory of a child's life! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    Every now and then I watch this again. My brother had/has dyslexia, probably because lack of oxygene during birth. We're Dutch and now, with 57 he even reads english books. But still when it is written ship, he might say boat, because his mind works different then mine. ❤

    Hello from Texas, USA!This was an Excellent short!! My husband is dyslexic. Things are still hard for him BUT he has achieved 2 degrees, countless awards, and retired from the Army after 30 years of service! It's interesting because he remembers EVERYTHING he hears and sees... what's crazy is I didn't even know he was dyslexic until his mom told me!! I just thought he needed glasses the way he read road signs or menus!🤣😂🤣😂

    A beautiful inspiring film. When İ was at primary school İ witnessed my best friend being put in special class for those who were deemed stupid. She learned later that she was dyslexic. İt was not just that though it seemed any child that didn't fit in exactly to what was chosen to be the norm was thought of as being stupid. Left handed children, ny kind of speech impediment, wearing glasses. Very narrow minded. However, now, we still hide it by giving almost anything an acronym where it is safely labeled and then stored away.

    My artistic daughter learned her phonics before kindergarten. But she needed to relearn it before First grade. She got by in school until forth grade when she could no longer memorize words by their shape as the words were more syllables. The school never seemed to notice a problem. I had her tested and she came up dyslexic. She wanted me to homeschool for Jr high. I found a program for teaching the sounds with pictures and rhymes and taught all the phonics rules with new words. She became a good reader after that and was top of her writing class as a Freshman in high school. She graduated in Art from a university with high honors.

    Dyslexia is highly mis- defined. My generation knew nothing about learning disabilities.
    Audio dyslexia:
    Many of us have a harder time with oral processing. Examples are if someone begins speaking to us before our attention is focused, we hear something ridulous, often funny. Or learning a foreign language... we can easily read and write and speak it but cant understand and remember what we hv heard. We often use visual clues to help us. Ive lived in 5 different countries and retained almost nothing of the language.
    Yet despite being slow to read, once I did, I obtained straight A's from grammer thru high school.
    And with ADD in addition to dyslexia, learning certain things are a nightmare for me. Yet i easily perceive and sense things that few others do. My emotional intelligence is highly developed. And Im a very good writer.
    So, you see, dyslexics have great gifts. Creativity comes naturally which makes us artistic in many forms if expression. And possess insatiable curiousity about the world, near and far.
    I grew up thinking I was slow and stupid.
    Yet now ppl often compliment me as highly intelligent.
    All in all, for me the gifts outweigh the 'curses'. 👍🏽

    from what i learned all these years growing up. i dont if i can fault this "normal classes teachers:
    or not, but. I think its not a huge wonder ,why that other class teacher had much more patience,
    you try teaching a whole room of kids , with different intelligence levels, nay, just try to survive these years as a teacher in normal classes, and youll see why most teachers , can seem a little aloof , or emotionally distant. i think that lady with patience, simply had more better terms, by not having that many students, heck maybe she does take care of herself better, then these robot teachers.
