I understand you anger in this situation. When I started school all those many years ago I remember being hit by the teacher a lot. We had to be able to count to a hundred in Grade 1. Our writing had to be perfect or we got hit by the teacher. Anything you did wrong result in being disciplined that didn’t resolve the problem and that was the teacher didn’t address the child’s needs only their own.

Today not much has changed, dyslexic children are still measured to normal children and the teachers are quick to say it is the child. BS you don’t get such a thing as a bad child only bad teachers or parents. A child is conditioned by influence such as his friends, parents and the teacher. If one of the 3 is not working then the child will have behavioural problems and this will lead to other bad things.

You do get good books and I found that slide shows on the TV are very effective with reading and counting. Also mix in a few surprises like make the last word on the slideshow cupcake and give him / her a cupcake for being successful.

In the end it is all about confidence. Still our education system is a joke and useless at best.
