A stressful, punitive, and threatening environment more than sufficiently explains learning problems. There is no need to confuse ourselves with school techspeak, unproven theories, and scape-goating which serve to protect a social institution that has failed our children. A whole variety of things might be presented to young people. 2 Children are born to learn. They deserve a safe, nurturing learning environment where they can do so, in an atmosphere of patience, respect, gentleness, and trust, not threats, force, and cynicism.
Every child is a gifted child.
