To Summarize

A concrete summary of what I believe:

A certain segment of the population is consistently being discriminated against for requiring a different teaching methodology in order to learn to read than is commonly available in both public and private school settings. 

In the majority of cases people who fall into this category of phonemically challenged blame themselves.  In fact, the true nature of the problem is that beginning in kindergarten the widely practiced teaching method of teaching the "whole language" method is failing this population.

Estimations of the number of people in this category are between 1/5th to 1/3rd of the total population.

It is widely commonly accepted for children to proceed in school without a certain level of reading ability.  It is also common for school personnel to find subtle and overt ways to blame the child for their reading struggles.   

These practices are discriminatory and therefore unacceptable.
