Do you think children with learning disabilities should go to seperate schools that adjust to the childrens learning pace?

Not all learning differences/disabilities are equal in severity. There are certainly exceptions. However, I would say that the great majority would be fine in traditional school settings.

Depends if they assist letting the students work out the answers or just giving them the answers. There is no learning from giving the answers to them. It doesn't help in figuring out the answers for themself. My high school said I have a learning disability, for reference.

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.

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 Covid proved the current American school system is outdated and unnecessary now.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.

Sounds like an expensive solution to a problem. Why not just have specialist classes and teachers in a school? Feels kinda wrong to put someone in a corner because they are dyslexic.
