Yes. It happens more often than you would think.
If a student does his work, doesn't act out, makes passing grades (not necessarily A's and B's, but more like C's and D's), it's entirely possible for him to go undiagnosed.

In all honesty yes, due to the fact that some schools are just not sure what to look for so unless a child shows signs of aggression, acting out, or is way below class level they may go on diagnosed. There are a wide range of learning problems that can be classified, not knowing which one you are talking about I cannot give more information. But I hope that this has helped.

I am currently studing an integration course and this has come up many times.
It depends on which areas they are lower i.q in. These kids often just float through the system neither getting high grades or extreemly bad grades that draws attention to them. They tend to bluff their way through what they don't understand and the system lets them through.

I truly depends on the level of their mentality...a mildly retarded person will require the aid of special education...their mental development is very much behind the other children at the same age....so to say they can make through...not as others will...not at the same level as others...if a person has a mental deficit they will progress as the normal child will...and they will be noticed at a young age as child with a problem...
they may get through but at a functioning age below the age of a regular student...they can not function at the level of their age....

YES, and this happens most times than not. The general public does not know that special ed in schools is corrupt. Go to www.wrightslaw.com, www.reedmartin.com to read all about this.

wellllllll, from what I see being hired where I work,there are a lot of "youngsters" that have a lot to be "corrected"? I dont know if it is schooling or maybe lifestyle or genetics. but I say YES, it is possible and is happening daily!

It is very unlikely. If they were retarded, they would have had too much difficulty and someone would have noticed.
