Do you think children with learning disabilities should go to seperate schools that adjust to the childrens learning pace?
i don't think complete separation is necessary. current education systems (system*s*, as in all countries) are not usually fit for properly helping students that are going behind the standard program - not necessarily someone with disabilities, but just de-facto.
we should work on making schools more merciful in those cases, as well as getting actually competent psychologists in there. that should be enough for resolving this issue, at least from my (unprofessional) point of view.
I know both situations. Being kept hungry for knowledge and understanding and underfed due to being faster than the rest and being slower than the rest due to gaps of knowledge that cannot me closed on-the-fly while processing new and overwhelming things. From that experience I would say that children with a fast pace need a different treatment compared to those with more average pace and the slower ones too need other types of approaches. As soon as you separate those groups you also create social groups who will start with vanity, envy, hate, condescension. No good. Better to keep all parties united und give those who need it some extra care and support. When you have disabled kids it is important to keep them among the group. So the group has a chance to accept them as valid members and support them too. We do not want KZs of any kind, do we?
It would probably be difficult to implement. I actually think the rise of digital or virtual classrooms will become a real thing in the future. That could eliminate alit of those problems and give kids the customized school experience they need. Covid proved the current American school system is outdated and unnecessary now.
That would be very fucked up. To hijack the question a little bit: teachers are really good at diagnosing these things without knowing it. I’m pretty sure my teachers knew I had ADHD-I way before I did. The types of things they always to my parents’ always sounded very indicative of it but no one really had a clue what it meant.
