LD education has been kicked into the long grass which is... fun...
Because LD kids can't be expected to social distance, and because they often need specialist transport with a support worker and social distancing there is impossible, the current answer to when LD kids are going to be able to go back to school seems to be "lol... dunno".
Now... I personally don't mind my youngest being at home. She's missing the social contact but is coming on great, if anything her talking has improved more quickly in the last couple of months than it has in quite a while (though that could just be coincidence; it has always tended to improve in sudden bursts like this). She's also picked up
swearing from her sister so that's fun
.
But... the government currently pays something like £5000/year for primary education per child. It's actually significantly higher for learning disabilities, but we'll call it the flat rate. Do you think I can send them my bank deets and get that $$$?
On a more serious note, it is discrimination obviously but what can be said about that. All gone out the window "because of the covids"... we'll worry about petty little things like discrimination again one day in the distant future. Maybe.
