How does that even work? So ludicrous. You can't just take an average of grades and say that because she's slightly ahead overall, she's entitled to no support! When this breaks down to being well ahead in STEM subjects and way behind in humanities subjects!

I have been trying to point out the problem with this reasoning with increasing use of sarcasm & analogies. They still took her scribe away. I pointed out she would now fail everything which required writing. She just failed everything that requires writing.

I let this happen because I wanted them to see it now and not when she's doing her GCSEs. She's still learning and progressing because she's worked hard on what she's written and she knows what it says even tho no-one else does.

Anyway, it has worked. I've had a phone call saying that they are giving her a chromebook because when they can actually read what she is saying, it's quite good. I've only been saying this for 8 years.

I was nearly put off history ages 9-11 because I kept getting bad marks, solely based on my handwriting and the fact that I couldn't draw. I have a degree in history.

Drawing is a part of history class in Scotland?
-
I was actually living in England at that point, but in the 1980s for ages 9-11 it very much was.
-
Drawings of battles, ships, Admirals?
-
Drawings of whatever we'd been learning eg Celtic ceremonies, Roman legions. I remember one project was to design a calendar for a Feudal English peasant. I was bad at it.

A calendar for a peasant! Haha (sorry.) Really, too much detail for kids. Nothing ever like that in any American school I have ever heard of for that age.
