I have an important question...

 Does anyone here know of a class action law suit against the educational system (Higher Ed) for the lack of accomodations and the blatant discrimination against math disabled college students?

I have received mostly As and Bs in my college classes. Even received a C in Biz. Math. But I have not been able to get any accomodations (over and above a regular tutor appointment) nor added aides, etc. for my Algebra math disability and have received Fs in Pre-Algebra/Mod. College Math yet again because of these facts. 

In fact, I found out I scored the exact same score as I did years ago before all my studying, regular tutor appts., etc.

Am I going to be denied my degree, my career, and all those things I have worked so hard for because I am imperfect in one subject to the point of have a "disability?"

I have always balanced my checkbook better than most people I used to work for in menial sales clerk jobs as a teen! It seems my problem mainly has to do with being unable to memorize processes like order of operations in Algebra.

Most of the other classes in which I received the highest grades were sociology, psycology and politics, and arts related classes. But I stuggled feircely for me C in Logic and my C in Biz. math. Was it for NOTHING!?

Why should all that I have going for me be flushed down the toilet?

Why is the US allowing the math disabled to be denied any real chance at acheiving educational and career success? Or am I just being denied such?

What, if anything, can I do to put a STOP to this insanity once and for all?

Hi again, Michelle!

WOW! That is an AWESOME score!!! And don't knock being a sales or Customer Service Rep. I know it takes skill and patients to be dealing with the public. Lol! I used to be a sales clerk in our local mall in when I was in my early twenties. My manager and asst. mngrs. were better at math than I was, no doubt, but most of them showed little signs of "common sense." One in fact, didn't have the sense of a snail... and she moved above the same speed too.  

I wish I had your grammar and english skills. Yeah, I know when it comes to this education system in the US it sucks! It is set up so only the upper-middle class on up stand a chance of success in adulthood. But hey, with the fabulous english skills you have what the heck do you need with the USA college system anyway?

I mean you could make a decent study side-line biz. out of writing freelance for both on and offline publications not to mention, you could write a novel or non fiction book. It only takes one good book to make one independently wealthy!  You already have one eager future reader/fan right here! ---Me--->

WOW!, There's such a thing as Dyscalculia? Dyscalculia? Where have you been all my life? and just on time for my two younger daughters.!!!!

Thank you for this forum!, I can do simple adding,subtracting,division,and times tables but nothing higher like algebra.  The funny thing is,I read or heard some years ago that some people who are "artistic." or like art,should be,or can learn geometry more easily because it works the "art." part of the brain................If we're not the best in math,though we'll probably be better  at it from now on because of this forum,we all have other things we can excel at.Learning languages?Graphic Artist?Cook?Gardener?

    and who says working in customer service is not so good?It's a very tireing job,lots of different types to answer to,but it can be fufilling when you help people sometimes too.(the low pay is the crappiest part though!)

THANK YOU DYSCALCULIA FORUM PEOPLE!!!!
