mogga - your post displays your ignorance. It is ZILCH to do with teachers who are "crippled" by ANYTHING AT ALL.
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.

"This is testament to the fact that our education system is geared to indoctrinate rather than educate

Victorian Education Minister should resign for this

It's a disgrace"

I'm not blaming the teacher pic
I'm blaming the system and hence the politicians who engineer these systems
