The tap o the scrapheap - according tae wee nippy sweetie.

You have clearly misunderstood Wee Nippy Sweetie's intentions!!!!! If you're happy to be labelled, you go ahead. It's fashionable to have labels these days anyway. I'd probably pay hundreds at a therapist's just to walk away with a certificate that states I'm officially diagnosed as a wee nippy sweetie. I'm in debt to you, wee man!!!

Someone close to me suffered from a psychotic illness. The medical authorities deemed that it would be entirely inappropriate to label the condition. However they had to treat something. I have a certificate that states that I'm officially diagnosed as a dyslexic. Or to be more politically correct a person who has dyslexia. Dyslexia has impeded my journey to some extent - then again so has my social class, perhaps to a greater extent. I agree that a person centred planning approach should be adopted in all education establishments. Don't hold your breath - by the way.

In mainstream education it's probably cheaper to write of individuals' prospects than spend the money to do the job as well as it can be done. A short termist saving!

[ionnsaigh]

Absolutely.

A short termist saving - at the expense of society in general. A new type of Society is required - vote for independence. We then could establish or re-establish Scotland - as a place of educational excellence. Defence budget - the cost of 5 million AK47 is considerably cheaper than a nuclear arsenal and a standing army.

Menorca, buetifull Meditrenian island in the sun. On our last visit, I felt trapped and restricted to one small artifical resort. So this time round we intended to hire a car. I as usual, wanted to hire for a week, I laughed in the face of carbon footprint. Fiona on the other hand, preferred no more than two days at most. As it turned out one day was more than enough.
Never ever did I suspect that driving on the other side of the road, would present to many problems - to an expeirenced driver as myself .OK I can't immeadiately tell the difference between left and right - I was always rotten at marching games.
Anyway good news to all my fellow drivers and pedestrians, that had the missfortune to cross paths on that particular dreadfull day. I will never again be foolhardy enough to ever dream of repeating this shocking expirence. As the reader can see - I ignored all those spell check wee red lines that persistantly pop up.

Another aspect of dyslexia is discrimination - by people who should know better.
See Carol Thatcher thread.

That is ridiculous, ionns.

Saying the word liberal when you mean right wing republican is not dyslexia
