Sometimes I remember I was basically illiterate at the age of 12 because of the American public school system failed me and the only reason I can read and write now is because of my mom and listening to audiobooks, of all things, and it’s honestly insane. They kept just passing me. I would have continued to be unable to read or write (two things now very important to me) if my mom didn’t care about me. I fear for other disabled children who don’t have anyone backing them.
