BY A SLOW LEARNER

A SLOW LEARNER SAID:

Why so many silent alphabets in english words, like in -

BRIDGE; BOAT; BOMB; COMB; DEPOT; DEBT; 
DAUGHTER; HIGH; KNIFE; KNEE; KNOWLEDGE; KNIGHT; KNOW; OFTEN; PSYCHOLOGY; PRONOUNCIATION; PEOPLE; SCHOOL; SIGN; WATCH; WRITE etc .....

Why same alphabet should be pronounced in different manner, like in - 
BUT     PUT  CUT;
BALL    BALE;
BOTH    BOTHER;  
BUS     BUSH; 
BOMB    BORE; 
BIT     BITE;
CAR     CARE;    

COME    CONE; 

COME    COMB;

CAME    CAT;

COLE    COAL;
CUT     CUTE;
DON     DONE;

EAR     EARN;
FAR     FARE;
FAT     FATE;
FILM    FINE     FILL   FIRST  FIST;
FOR     FORCE; 
GOT     GOAT;
HER     HERE;
HUG     HUMOUR;
HOP     HOPE;
KITE    KING    KILL   KISS  KIND; 
KEEN    KEPT; 
MOVE    MOTION;
MAT     MATE;
NO      NONE; 
NOT     NOTE;
PIN     PINE;
POLE    POOL; 
RID     RIDE;
READ    READ [pastence;]
READ    READY;
RAT     RATE;
STATE   STAR  SAME  SAM;
SON     SOAP;
SPIN    SPINE; 
SO      SONG     SOON;
SIT     SITE; 
TON     TONE;
TRACE   TRACK;
TWO          TWIN;
TAP     TAPE;
TUB     TUBE;

US      USE          etc....

Why the pronounciation is similar in some words with different alphabets and meanings, like in - 


ARE - OR
BEEN - BEAN
BY - BYE - BUY
BREAK  - BRAKE
EYES - ICEFOR - FUR
FARM  - FORM 
GREAT - GRATE
HERE - HEAR
I -EYE
KNEW - NEW
LIGHT  - LITE
LIVE - LEAVE
MEAT - MEET
NO - KNOW
NIGHT - KNIGHT
OUR - HOUR
OF - OFF
PEER - PEAR
PEAK - PEEK
RIGHT - WRITE
SIGHT - SITE - CITE
SEA - SEE
SENT - CENT
SON - SUN
STEEL  - STEAL
SO   -  SOW
SUM  -   SOME
THOUGH - TOUGH
TO - TWO
TIRE -  TYRE
WEAR - WHERE
WHOLE - HOLE
WEIGHT  - WAIT
WHOLE -  HOLE 
WEEK - WEAK 
YOU - U                  etc.....

This really troubles me.

special education needs

http://www.samveda.org/helping-children.html

SAMVEDA takes up the responsibility of training and rehabilitating 50 children with Special Educational Needs annually.
These children are screened through tests conducted by experienced Clinical Psychologists and are classified as:
- Children to continue education in regular schools and
- Children who can't continue education in regular schools

Children under the first category, who are under performers at School are given full time training for a definite period and are sent back to the regular School. Some times, they are prepared for 'Public Examinations (VII & X grades)' to appear as private candidates.

Children who cannot continue education in regular Schools are trained for 'Life' through vocational training programmes. The teaching and training methods are designed in accordance with a "Code of Practice" which is in concurrence to the prevailing Educational System.
