[quote=Anonymous]Having been in the French school system for several years, my observation is that the system is heavily dependent on rote memorization and mechanics and relies on tracking and national exams to determine at an early age whether kids are "college material" or not. My guess is that kids with learning disaiblities are shuttled into the more vocational tracks early on where their learning disabilities don't hamper them as much -- regardless of how intelligent they are or how much academic potential they would have if treated. This article is a great example of someone making some unscientific observations, talking to a few people, and from there creating a "theory" that then gets copied and forwarded on the internet, contributing to the shaming and judgmental attitudes towards parents trying to make the best decisions to help their children.
