Article seems to be by a cherry picked outsider to allow the powers that be dodge their requirement to support neurodiverse students.
Also the article is using decades old definitions of dyslexia as difficulty reading and an average or high IQ
And the journalist doesn't have a background in disability reporting "Sirin Kale is a London-based journalist specialising in women's rights, politics, music, lifestyle, and culture"
Having a non expert waltz in and comment on say the BLM / Institutional Racism would not be acceptable in 2020.
- sparsely 6y agoMy impression from the article is that they want all students who struggle to read to be supported, not just those from wealthy backgrounds
- C1sc0cat 6y agoAs a neurodiverse person this is not the impression I got this is and out of date and a single fringe persons view. They don't even use the more modern holistic view of dyslexia as one of a spectrum of conditions. Exactly the sort of person that the current UK and US administrations love "classic Dom" as they say. This is a very problematic piece by the guardian - if this was about BLM and used a 1950's/60's view point / terminology the guardian would be getting crucified
- scotty79 6y agoThis is rather unlikely result of message that will morph into "dyslexia is fake" when spread.
