Dyslexic forum for Education Minister

I think that a war is about to erupt. I wonder if Paul Henry will take up the issue as a journalist. If enough parents students contact him via TVNZ then he may realise how serious the problem is.

"The dyslexic student is just being ignored." dyslexia is a major concern within ADD/ADHD and beyond as well.

To say that there these children are screened as they come into school is just a hopeful wish.
I believe that technology is the only way to go, once all the basic phonlogical strategies have been implemented.

We have enough run off of the learning difficulties as it is in our high count of early school leavers, truents, drug and alcohol users(youth) crime in young people and those before them, and the highest being suicide - I would like to know where Mr Maharey gets off with the 1% rubbish more like 30-40% being real.

If I had the money to be the front person and gather all the parents together I would, what I am going to do is write an open letter online, and hope that
many respond.................Did you get the article that Steve did in 2002, well it looks like he is a liar there ???? maybe I should challenge him with people that are dyslexic and children of those parents that will be dyslexic - there are more in the ADD/ADHD area this is where the sharp end could come with identifying all the learning difficulties ???

I would be interested in your expressions on this.

Everyone is welcome to add to this forum - we need to take this on before our children/youth are the forgotten ones - they have a special talent that no-one can match, it is about time we hit the Ministry of Educaton where is hurts - the children-youth-parents of New Zealand I ask that you join with me to tackle this head - on.

All for one - and one for all - our Nations future - our Gems.
