Thats me had my little say on the Wright Stuff about the new exams being introduced to replace GCSEs. As far as i can see this new exam will not only fail dyslexic kids but over 80% of kids in school. They will not sit any exam whatsoever and just get a reference from the school on leaving school. Crazy as many kids will just give up on school because once they have been excluded from taking this ...new exam why bother working at school.
Already we see so many dyslexic and other kids with literacy issues languishing in our prisons. Is that the future we want to see for even more of our kids?
When i did my O levels many years ago I already knew I had no chance and just stopped attending at 14. I wasn't until I was assessed as being dyslexic 20 years later that I discovered that wasn't daft or stupid and that I was able to learn on an academic level.
Now I am a dyslexia and inclusion specialist, I have founded my own social enterprise Dyslexia Pathways and now I work with other dyslexics who schools have still failed them.
