Home schooling on increase

[Lilith7]

There are definitely things about our education system which could & should, be improved. It took the education system a comparatively long time to recognise dyslexia, when that should have been done far sooner.
There were parents of dyslexic kids who took them to SPELD, but made sure the teachers in their child's school weren't aware of it because they knew what the reaction was likely to be - thankfully that has changed, but imo I think schools do need to more often understand that kids learn in different ways & allow them to do so.

I think though, the article was more about the possibility of home schooling going badly wrong than anything else.

TV1 are running a Documentary NZ program tonight entitled "Kids Wired Differently". They usually do a good job on such subjects so could be a worthwhile watch.

Yes, I'm definitely going to watch that one, it looks really interesting.
