So it’s not that so many young dyslexics fail in New Zealand schools, it’s that the state’s factory schools are failing them. The well-known motto of successful teachers of dyslexics is instructive: “If I don't learn the way you teach me, teach me the way I learn." That’s something a factory schooling system can never allow. Instead, high-achieving dyslexics of the past such as Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein would simply fall through the cracks, just as too many of them are now.

Another consequence of the failure to adequately teach dyslexics is a high crime rate.
Dyslexia affects mainly boys, they fail to achieve in school, become frustrated angry and demoralised, can't find employment on leaving school and turn to crime. You don't need to read to burgle a house or steal a car.
