One Size Does Not Fit All...

Today we read an article about a student from Christchurch who has a learning difference call Dyspraxia that affects the planning of his movements and coordination. 
As a result of this he finds it difficult working within the National Standards Testing System which labels him as Below even though in his words he is "not dumb."

Address a letter to - The Minister of Education - expressing your feelings on this issue with links to your own learning. Sign it at the bottom (first name only).

We will discuss this further in Philosophy this week.

Here is the link to the article
