Read it:

England and the American Midwest, 1877 to 2017. A reading difficulty is described by a German physician, named by a Sussex doctor in 1896, mapped by a Glasgow eye surgeon and an Iowa neurologist, and then spends most of a century failing to reach the classrooms where it would have mattered. Three children go through school inside that failure: Richard Branson at an English prep school and Stowe, Jo Malone in a Kentish classroom, Peter Rahal in an Illinois suburb where a test finally exists. One is assessed and labeled, one names herself late, one was never formally diagnosed at all. All three build companies. The question is what the schooling measured, what it missed, and who paid for the miss. Covers Richard Branson, Jo Malone, Peter Rahal, Virgin, Jo Malone London, and RXBAR.
