Yup! You are NORMAL! Did school make you feel inadequate or deficient? I think that all children (unless they are truly brain-injured) would learn to read in time, even with no instruction, if they have books available. Especially in this day and age of computers! You hear about children going to school and still not being able to read at graduation -- and I think that is because they were told that they couldn't do it and felt stupid, and they believed it and gave up. They were pushed too early. A good friend of mine was the same as you -- didn't read until she was 11. She thought that she finally learned how to read because her mom was working with her so hard. I told her that it was probably just time -- it would have clicked in at that age whether or not anyone had taught her.

My teachers were awful except my high school art teacher Mr Brown. He let me lead! I loved him ...such a good person. The way public schools teach kids is for one type of cognitive abilities. My abilities do not fit into the industrial or post industrial world. Well maybe they do now, robots are not creative....but I refused to compete which landed me in a dunce hat sitting in the corner of a class room. I hated tests, I hated competing, I hated school. I'm serious, the way the teachers taught me was like they spoke jibberish, their lesson plans made no sense to me.

That is heartbreaking to hear that they actually treat children that way and make them feel that way. It is important to share these stories, so thank-you.

I was beaten for trivial mistakes as well. By the age of 10 years I figured out humans were crazy and mean hearted. Unfortunately I became that way too, only for a time, in my early 30s I walked away from crazy and mean conditioning. In a way, without this suffering I would of never looked for a way to let go of all the trauma I suffered. But our school system isn't about learning, it's about controlling the unwashed masses.
