Blame everything and anything or TELL THE TRUTH. They are the options. The truth is that some kids find reading, writing and comprehending an enormous struggle and achieve very little.

Indeed, after 12 years of schooling, the fact that this kid is never going to progress in literary skills is so patently evident, that it is just ridiculous to BLAME THE SYSTEM. Teacher after teacher has tried remedies, but to no avail.

I'd prefer HONESTY. As in, IT CANNOT BE DONE. These kids involved know it as well. They are utterly sick of being the centre of attention by their teachers and become very miserable. I hate to see that.

I know one who became a Pastry Cook, and a very good one at that. Close to illiterate and her mum certainly doesn't blame the system, the teachers, and the Literary Magic Fairy not doing her job. She knew it couldn't be done. Such kids can still get employed, turn up to work on time and become very good citizens. BUT WE NEED TRUTH, NOT PRETENCE.

"BUT WE NEED TRUTH, NOT PRETENCE."

The truth can be inconvenient to some
it shows we have a flawed system
nobody accepts responsibility for their actions anymore - only excuses

A guy gets a huge payout for being a dumbkopf
they will be queuing up now won't they

Pic -why is it that our generation could read and write with one teacher and over 50 kids in the class by the time we got the the end of primary and today's kids can read or write after 12 years of school?

Are the kids dumber?
Are the teachers less equipped?
Is the system flawed?
Is our society going soft on education?
Is PC destroying the fabric of our society?
