NSW: Private school pays out over student's reading failure

A top private school in Melbourne has given a student's mother a payout for failing
to teach her son how to read properly.

YVONNE MEYERS reached an out-of-court settlement with Brighton Grammar School .. which
she says failed to deliver on its promise to address her son JAKE'S reading problems.

The Australian newspaper reports Ms MEYERS saying JAKE .. now aged 13 and in a private
secondary school .. made it all the way to Year 5 without adequate reading skills.
