I've never heard of dyscalculia but it would certainly explain my problems with numbers!<br /><br />www.poutineandprada.comPoutine and Pradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562314810047761514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918091265826271512.post-13037317301292355982019-02-14T00:13:36.911+00:002019-02-14T00:13:36.911+00:00Awww Kim, I'm sorry that you had to go through...Awww Kim, I'm sorry that you had to go through that and how dare that teacher say such a thing, some people shouldn't be allowed to teach! I'm so glad that you proved that teacher wrong and that's an amazing achievement to get to University. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. So many people have contacted me saying they have this too but don't feel comfortable to admit it xCaledonian Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812087097647828789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918091265826271512.post-26554016424053837342019-02-13T22:07:57.292+00:002019-02-13T22:07:57.292+00:00Thank you for sharing your story.

I was also diagnoses in university, I remember my primary school teacher telling my mother I would never amount to anything. I'd never get into university. All because of maths - I proved her wrong but it has been a struggle. Like you, I've been yelled at, sneered at and embarrassed by it. It nice to know someone that understands.

It was horrendous because when I was chosen all the other kids would giggle when I didn't know the answer. I really hope that they don't do this in schools today because it is really cruel. That must've been horrible having to stand in front of the class and recite times tables, that kind of thing can leave scars on people which can develop into social phobia. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and share your story. I hope that more research is done into this xCaledonian Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812087097647828789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918091265826271512.post-20933020542768569822019-02-12T12:11:40.070+00:002019-02-12T12:11:40.070+00:00This is so close to experiences I've have.

It's like they're Chinese symbols or something. I've worked in retail and the till going down is literally my worst nightmare. The whole 'surely you're not this stupid' thing has happened to me and I always feel so humiliated by it. I've not applied for jobs I thought I'd like because I may encounter numbers, I flunked my statistics exam during my Psychology degree so badly I had a panic attack at the computer, and I was yelled at by so many teachers (I was once told to stand in front of the class and recite my tables, which I still don't know, and the teacher yelled and yelled and yelled when I couldn't do it). This is such an important discussion to open!

It breaks my heart that you had to deal with so many awful and cruel teachers, they should be ashamed of themselves and should never have been let near children. It's shocking how some people like that were allowed to work with children. You are so strong and a courageous queen who deserves to be so proud of getting into university and coming back with more fight and spirit despite some horrendous times. Customers can be so nasty, it's shocking to be so mean and I'm so sad they treated you like that. Thank you for sharing this inspiring story queen, look up to you and your stunning soul so much and am so very proud of how far you've come! ♥︎♥︎♥︎<br /><br />Sophie | <a href="http://www.soinspo.com" rel="nofollow">soinspo</a> xo Sophie Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864483154745669239noreply@blogger.com
