I thought that was impossible outside Sweden. I thought: "All foreigners must laugh at us if they hear what this stupid bitch says".
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is the very kind of thinking that has caused me enormous grief with our local school system.
My daughter is a fucking genius, but she is also dyslexic (PDD, ADHD, too, but lets be focused for a moment!). She has a hell of a lot of trouble reading, spelling, doing math word problems, but still manages to get her grades scores into the upper percentile of kids in the state.
She is skipped over for additional services from which could greatly benefit, because her grades are already exceptional. I KNOW that she could do more, better, faster, if we could get some help with her dyslexia, but they are satisfied that she is "performing" according to expectation for kids in her age group. BUT, she is
not a regular kid! She is much smarter than can be tested with reading skills exams (as per NCLB standards) and her school psychologist knows this also, but the school departments are under the gun to keep costs down, so my daughter and we as parents have to do it all on our own.
I KNOW she could be doing so much more in her education, if we had a little help! I can't do it all! I don't even have educational skills, but I have taught her far more than the dipshit school ever has.
I could certainly apply
my hard-learned skills to help with her PDD problems (with which I can most assuredly identify and quite possibly assist) if I did not have to take so much time helping her to recognise the issues she faces with her dyslexia.
Sweden is not alone in this type of nonsense.
