Dislexia.

Dyslexia comes from the Greek word “dys” meaning poor or inadequate and ‘lexis’ which means words or language. All together means the inadequate in language tasks. Dyslexia is a learning disability some symptoms include reading slowly, difficulty reading, inept writing and spelling skills, and confusion of words that look alike. This learning disability affect between 10 % and 20 % of the population around the world, some of the most outstanding people that has dyslexia are Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Tom Cruise, Winston Churchill, Benjamin Franklin, Mozart, John Lennon, Carl Lewis, and Bruce Jenner.

The first description of dyslexia appeared in 1896. The Dr. W. Pringle Morgan from England wrote that he has a student of the age of 14 whose was quick at games but one of his weaknesses has been the incapability to learn to read and write.

In the movie Like Stars on Earth, Ishaan Awasthi a child who is 8 years old has a problem; he cannot get anything right in classes. His family was successful; his father was a good executive, his brother was exemplary scholar and athlete, and her mother who left his career to take care of her two children. His parents wanted the best for their children, for that reason they decide to send him to a new school to be disciplined after the advice of his teacher and principal form the old school.

Nevertheless in his new school of discipline things were not different; the same teaching styles were implemented with him, per example the Explaining method: the teachers give a spoken explanation but do not gave the students the chance to process the information. That situation as until a new teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh notice that he was special. He was the only teacher who knows how to treat Ishaan, he explain to Ishaan´s parent what was the problem Ishaan has, because it was not laziness or because he was fool or nothing like, he really has a problem and someone has to help him.

What Ram Shankar Nikumbh did was to have him after school and adapted his teaching methods to his needs and abilities. Little by little Ishaan was getting better and better on his normal classes. At the end of the year teacher saw the improvement he had made after teacher Ram has him after school.

It is difficult to have this type of students, however the situation is not exclusive from some places, and the whole world does not have an experience treating people with special needs. Per example some similarities that I found during the movie were that the teacher does not have the experiences or time to go over every students needs and the reason is that in each classroom are like thousand students, so it is extremely difficult to pay attention to each student and try to make an improvement with them. Another notable thing is the mockery
