C2 Education

My partner, who has a graduate level education, and was top of his class at all the (highly ranked) schools he attended, recently applied for a job here. He has a learning disability (similar to dyslexia), which has been an asset to him in his multiple years of tutoring, as it has helped him connect with students, overcome challenges, and develop new methods of teaching. He has been top-​ranked as a tutor in past positions. As part of the interview process, he mentioned this (verbatim) to the hiring manager, and was told that:
«We allow no extra time for testing to our students or teachers. Majority of our students are high-​functioned, highly motivated and competitive, and top-​rank students in class of their school… Strong subject knowledge to begin with, therefore, is a prerequisite in our class environment, and we expect candidates to demonstrate their performance.»
I am writing this here because it appears that C2 is of the belief that no one with a learning disability could be high-​functioning, highly motivated, competitive, top-​ranking or have strong subject matter knowledge. This is obviously false — many people with learning disabilities have excelled and been all of these things. I post here for parents who are considering using C2 for their students. Apparently, if your child does have a learning disability, they will be presumed lesser for it.
