    Teachers make a huge difference if they are patient and don't dismissive children....it is sad that that we have more impatient and unkind teachers.

    How cool is that young actor, Faolan Barry?! Great job. That school teacher really pissed me aff! I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I'm pretty sure I had a childhood learning disorder of some sort that was never diagnosed. But the teachers beat the shit out of me. I'm an over achiever and have had a massive life, including university degrees. So, fk them all! Great film, important message. 👏

    My artistic daughter learned her phonics before kindergarten. But she needed to relearn it before First grade. She got by in school until forth grade when she could no longer memorize words by their shape as the words were more syllables. The school never seemed to notice a problem. I had her tested and she came up dyslexic. She wanted me to homeschool for Jr high. I found a program for teaching the sounds with pictures and rhymes and taught all the phonics rules with new words. She became a good reader after that and was top of her writing class as a Freshman in high school. She graduated in Art from a university with high honors.

    This is an overly idealized depiction of a way to overcome school trauma. The elephant in the room that is being ignored is the adultism, conformity, and lack of consent. The child is just being re-traumatized by having to prove they are worthy instead of just being treated that way in the first place. That classroom is not a safe place to learn. The teacher is modeling very poor behavior for the other students, who become bystanders and abusers instead of learning acceptance. The other children will internalize the lack of acceptance and that will affect their own way of being in the world. The dyslexic child should decide what kind of support they want and when they are ready for it. What does the child want to accomplish? Support that. Instead, in schools, children are told what to do and how to do it. They have very little agency. They have to get permission to pee, drink, and move their own bodies, ffs. Suddenly, as adults, they are expected to make decisions when most of their decisions were made for them. ruclips.net/video/TQSdnKJPr68/видео.html I would like to challenge the filmmakers to make a film about Dyslexic Self-Directed Learners and see how they learn by interests, consent and support, on their own timetable. The emotional outcomes are far better. See Alliance for Self Directed Learning, and the Unschooling Community. You aren't going to be able to change an unexamined system, or a shallowly examined one. I've tried. The ableism is deep.

    from what i learned all these years growing up. i dont if i can fault this "normal classes teachers: or not, but. I think its not a huge wonder ,why that other class teacher had much more patience, you try teaching a whole room of kids , with different intelligence levels, nay, just try to survive these years as a teacher in normal classes, and youll see why most teachers , can seem a little aloof , or emotionally distant. i think that lady with patience, simply had more better terms, by not having that many students, heck maybe she does take care of herself better, then these robot teachers.

    As someone who thought he was intellectually challenged until I reached High School, this film hit me like a ton of bricks. Teachers need to be taught that intelligence varies quite a bit. Some children can repeat things verbatim and not have much understanding of the subject matter, while others think more abstractly. This teacher who helped bring out the best in this young boy is a true gem. A teacher who sees her job in a narrow way can really traumatize those kids who are a bit different. I had a teacher who was emotionally abusive when I was second grade. It took me years to heal from that nasty women.

    Every now and then I watch this again. My brother had/has dyslexia, probably because lack of oxygene during birth. We're Dutch and now, with 57 he even reads english books. But still when it is written ship, he might say boat, because his mind works different then mine. ❤

    A beautiful inspiring film. When İ was at primary school İ witnessed my best friend being put in special class for those who were deemed stupid. She learned later that she was dyslexic. İt was not just that though it seemed any child that didn't fit in exactly to what was chosen to be the norm was thought of as being stupid. Left handed children, ny kind of speech impediment, wearing glasses. Very narrow minded. However, now, we still hide it by giving almost anything an acronym where it is safely labeled and then stored away.
