The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalised approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.
I’ve always had issues with my hands, bad ligaments since I was a kid. Not a single teacher or adult ever believed me that my hands hurt just from writing a paragraph with pen and paper. It was a bitch and made learning and school an unpleasant experience. I hate that schools think every single child fits into one cariculum , and if you don’t fit they blame you for being lazy and they get to pat themselves on the back for “trying” while they let you fall through the cracks

Your issue goes far deeper than what the article describes imho, and it appears to be a very special situation. There should certainly be more individualized education programs, possibly more teachers in class rooms, etc. The article doesn’t reject that. I would agree with it’s meaning (as I understand it), though, that over-reliance on and/or ubiquitous digital devices constitute an obstacle to children’s personal developments, their cognitive skills, and learning. But, of course, in special cases it may be helpful.
To be fair, try organising a specialised curriculum for 1000+ students and you will find why they are standardised lol
That’s why different classes exist
I never heard of alternative learning or special accommodations until I was out of school, pretty much every adult in the school system ignored my issues and let me fall through the cracks. It got to the point where my grades were shit cause I hated writing out all my homework and essays and just didn’t do them.
No, we need inclusive classes imo, not seaparation.
What I mean is that kids with different interests or strengths may choose to work differently or concentrate on different things. Just like adults. Inclusivity doesn’t mean that everyone has to do the exact same thing the exact same way.
Your issues obviously lie deeper than schools demanding you to write with a pen. It should have been on your parents to spot and rectify the issues with your ligaments. What could the system have done to accommodate you?
And your parents didn’t take you to the doctor? Aren’t you covered under their insurance (assuming you went to school in Sweden)?
Nobody ever really believed how bad it was. Not till I was an adult did I realize it wasn’t normal. I still haven’t gone to the doctor about it, since it’s no an issue and I don’t write often, but my hands still hurt if I play video games for too long for example
Don’t you think maybe you should?
The solution to arthritis isn’t to not use your hands. The solution is to start getting it treated as soon as possible.
Cmon… you say you’re an adult. Start taking responsibility for your own health.
