Screen children with reading difficulties for hearing problems. A new study found 25 percent of its young participants who had reading difficulties showed mild or moderate hearing impairment, of which their parents and teachers were unaware.
I can see this with the educational system we have here in the USA is more like a factory pressing information onto the children to mass produce barely educated masses to go out and be part of the society. There is no real control of those that are struggling so we have probably a good 25-35% of those who are graduating are doing so barely and have reading or hearing issues.
