Go back and rewatch the first show where this is brought up and listen carefully to what he says...I believe that he is trying to use the learning disability (one that he admitted that he got in high school) to cover up the fact that he did poorly enough that the school did not want him back.
Further, it is up to him to go and ask for extra help! When I was in law school, if you needed extra help the professors were always accessible and willing to help you along with understanding the material. He was complaining that he had to re-read paragraphs 3 times before he understood them -- guess what? so do most law students because the material can be hard to digest on the first go round! Obviously this learning disability didn't stop him from achieving in undergraduate studies, from taking the LSATs and from getting into a law school. If it was so pronounced, perhaps he should have taking the plunge into law school as a part time student to lessen the courseload. I'm sure if you got officials from the school to discuss this you would hear a much different story! And I'm sure they're not too happy that he got an attorney involved -- he obviously didn't learn what I did my first day of law school, don't piss off the mind you are trying to pursuade.
Oh, I hear you, I am sure at this point he is using this as an excuse. Otherwise, you would think he would have made them aware of the learning disability from the get-go!! But, you know that the school will cave, better to do so rather than risk bad press. Either way, kudos to Caroline and family for saying it's Albie's battle to fight, instead of fighting it for him.
I read your post to my co-worker and she burst out laughing!!!
. I reread your post and thought that was what you probably meant, that he shouldn't be a lawyer if he couldn't get better grades.
