And in my first lesson with him.
I showed him my own writing.
I I did a writing task together and
I also did some cutting out and tried to make something with a glue stick and he watched me bumbling and fumbling, being so slow with the pen, the scissors and the glue.
And in the end he made some comments and I just said, Oh, I've got dyspraxia so I'm afraid I'm a bit slow at these things.
And then he just said, I've got that too and I said, I know.
And and that was it.
That was all
we said.
But he picked up a pen and he started writing something.
And so I think again it goes back to what I was saying before about not being afraid to show
Urine imperfections.
Affects my teaching.
Yeah.
It's a difficult one because to be honest, I think mainstream schools are actually designed for very few children, not just those with dysprexia.
Um that you get the increasingly big class sizes and very competitive culture that's focused almost exclusively on the grade you get as opposed to what you're managing to learn.
And it's getting more and more like that, which which saddens me.
Um the best way teachers can swim against that tide, I think, is partly to try and neutralise the competitiveness and try and focus as far as possible
on what interests the students as opposed to what they need to do to get a particular score, pass a particular test.
And this is really difficult for mainstream teachers because the curriculum is built so much around tests.
