Answer 1

I think the word you want is "Dyslexia."

Two points, please.

Answer 2

The word you're looking for is dyslexia. Having dyslexia doesn't mean that you’re 'abnormal'. It means that things like spelling, reading and other things are harder for you. Having dyslexia doesn't make you retarded or anything else negative; in fact most people with dyslexia have average to above average intelligence. And dyslexia has nothing to do with how you look. Your brain simply processes information differently. In most schools, the resource room is just another class room. A resource room is generally staffed by a very special kind of teacher; one that understands learning differences like dyslexia, a teacher who can help you learn in a way that best suits you. Resource rooms generally have computers with 'special' programs on them that read your written work back to you, or that predict the next word you’re going to write. Lots of times you go to the resource room to learn about things that you find hard in a different situation. You are given more time to learn about them and different methods than what are used in a normal class room so that you can learn in the way that best suits you.

Now to answer your questions:

Should you go to the resource room? Well, in my opinion it may be beneficial to you. In the resource room, they can offer you extra support in the areas that you find difficult. They can offer you accommodations on tests, like extra time or a computer for written assignments. Lots of kids go to the resource room; it's nothing to be ashamed of. Give it a try and if, after a couple of weeks you don't find it helpful, you can talk to your parents and stop going.

IF the lady come to take you to the resource room makes you uncomfortable with how she asks, maybe you could talk to her about how she asks for you to come. Maybe there could simply be a time in which you go everyday, and she wouldn't have to come and get you at all. Or maybe she could come discreetly knock on the door and talk quietly with the teacher who could discreetly walk by and say 'Yana, it's time to go to the resource room'.

Would it be on your record? Since you say you already have an IEP, it's already on your record that you receive special services (like accommodations or modifications and remedial help, nothing to be ashamed of). If the reason that they want you to go the resource room is to take a class, then it would show up on your record like any other class. If they are sending you there for accommodations and modifications, the accommodation will show up on your IEP which is part of your record, but it probably won't say specifically that you went to the resource room to receive them. Check with our school though. Mind you it's not like a college can turn you down because you spent time in the resource room, which would be discrimination, which is illegal.

How can you get out of this? Talk to your parents and your special ed. coordinator. Tell them why you feel you do not belong there. Tell them how you are feeling. Tell them your plan to overcome the problems you are having with out extra help. See what they say.

Why you? Who knows? Maybe because God thought you could handle it. Having dyslexia is just part of who you are; something you must deal with. Unfortunately dyslexia doesn't go away, and you can't 'cure' it, but you can overcome it. Should you accept the extra help, overcoming it may be easier.

And yes, you are normal. If a kid is allergic to peanuts does that make them 'weird' or ‘abnormal’? No, it just means that they can't eat peanuts or things that contain them. You have dyslexia, it just means spelling, reading, and other things are harder for you than they are for other people. Having dyslexia doesn't change who you are, it is a part of who you are. It doesn't mean that you can't hang out with your friends, play sports, learn and enjoy music or other activities you may be involved in. It's really not a big deal, although it can seem like it when you’re struggling because of it.

One more thing, use spell check. It’s a valuable tool that is found on most computers. Use it every time you write something other people will read. As a dyslexic I view spell check as my great equalizer.

Edit to Carjug: Being a dyslexic, I took a look at your site. I can see the value that coloured letters could have to struggling reader, but it is really more of an accomodation. If the story were not printed in coloured letters, the dyslexic would still struggle just as much. Also watch that you are not advertizing. The bets method in my opinion for helping the dyslexic learner is an Orton-Gillingham based program. I personaly found the Davis method helped with the quality of my printing.

Answer 3

The school is trying to help you.  I'm sure if you didn't get to go, then classwork would be much more difficult for you.  When y sister was in elementary school the school had her go to the IEP room for an hour a day and get extra help.  Now she is a beautiful young lady, getting straight A's, holding down a job, and has a boyfriend.  Just deal with it now, and embrace the fact that there is nothing wrong with you.  You could be a whole lot worse.

Answer 4

Your anger is perfectly understandable.  Many of those who teach in special education do not see the embarresment and anger they cause by being so insensitive.

Firstly let me say you are not stupid, dyslexics brains just work differently than the majority, with help you can do as well at school as your friends.

Do not be ashamed of being dyslexic, many of the greatest minds in the world were dyslexic along with many other famous people.

Many dyslexics are very clever, my own son (now grown up) is one and I understand how you feel and saw the anger, pain and hurt caused by stupid teachers many times.

You have a few options to what you can do;

Talk to you parents and get them to go to the school and explain how this teacher is causing you real problems. Maybe show them this question and answers.

Talk to this teacher and explain how you feel, if that is difficult you could use/adapt the letter I have written below and give it to her.

Tell another teacher who you get on well withl how you feel and get them to talk to this teacher for you.

Hope some of this helps, I have also included some really good dyslexic websites for you to have a look at.

Good luck

Dear

I want to do well at school and people tell me that I will be able to do as well as my friends with help but I have a big problem.

Everytime you come to my class and announce in a loud voice to the whole class that I have to come to the resource room I die a little inside.  I feel that it once again tells my whole class including my friends that I am stupid.  This makes me feel both angry, ashamed and very unhappy.

I think that you are trying to help me to overcome the problems my dyslexia cause and do not mean to be unkind but it makes me feel really bad.  

So can another way be found to have me leave my class and go to the resource room which does not show me up in front of the whole class.  This is making me feel so bad that I feel it would be better to have no help rather than to continue feeling so bad.

Answer 5

Teachers can be lazy and stupid, just like me.

I want your opinion on a reading website, it's okay if you hate it...

www.geocities.com/carjug

    The only education people who have liked it were teachers who had reading trouble themselves. The rest of them decided it looked like extra work and found an excuse not to bother trying it. I hope you like it.

   Tell the fat lady that she is costing everyone productive class time with her rudeness, and remember that textbooks and worksheets have no proven value to learners; (YOU).

Answer 6

Your IEP is your Individual Education Plan. If you are meant to go to the resource iep room it should be on your iep somewhere that you are getting extra help. That's what you would be getting in that room.

You do need to go to the resource room as its where they've selected for you to get the extra assistance they(school) think you need.

It should already be on your record that you are meant to go there if it's in your IEP. It would only appear on your record as you having an IEP.

You could try talking to the lady who comes to get you about the method she uses to get you to come to class.

You could suggest that she just quietly tell the teacher "Yana needs to come to the iep resource room" and then the teacher calls you and saids you have to go with her.

You could also suggest that she not say anything and when she turns up to your class you go with her. This would mean that you would have to talk to the teacher of the class that you are in for the time period that you are meant to be in the resource room for.

Another method is that you go at the time when you are required to go and just tell the teacher why you are leaving. That way noone has to come get you.

For the last 2 suggestions you would need to get a timetable of the times you are meant to be in the resource room

If you want to get out of the IEP you need to talk to your parents about getting reassesed. If you are assessed as not needing an IEP though you may lose any extra help you currently have.

Answer 7

My brain nearly imploded trying to read this.

But I think you meant 'dyslexia'. I don't know what I.E.P stands for, so that makes it hard to answer this. I'd suggest you see the proper doctor, and actually get tested for dyslexia...if you don't have it, then you don't need to go to the resource room.
