A north Vancouver father who has a kid with dyslexia believes that his kid did not receive enough help and support while he was going to a north Vancouver elementary school; moreover, he claims that his son was discriminated against by the north Vancouver school district due to his disability; as a result, he extended his complaint against the school district to the supreme court of Canada.
Having read this article in North Shore News written by Jane Seyd on November 10th over and over again in order to come up with my best opinion about this article, I believe that the school district does have some responsibilities for every single child that attends school, either with disabilities or without; however, public schools do not have a substantial budget to spend extra money on kids with disabilities such a s hiring special teachers for them or having special types of assignments; at a public school with a limited budget, kids with learning disabilities may have to be in the same classes as the other normal kids without disabilities; thus, they will be restrained from a more convenient learning strategy or environment suited to their disability.
Again, we have to consider that public schools have a limited budget that they receive from government and they try their best to suit everyone’s learning type; hence, I would not blame this case on the school district; I believe, that they have done all they could to provide Moore, the kid in the article with dyslexia, with the best learning environment he required; in fact, I believe that the father may have had unrealistic requests from the school district such as expecting the school to provide his son with a special tutor; although he claims that “it’s always been about the other kids. It’s never been just about Jeff”, said Moore, however, the school district has promised him to improve the learning environment for kids with learning disabilities which foreshadows a potential remarkable development in the school district.
