Im shocked to see Manitoba being praised. I live with the blundering Manitoba Education system.My daughter has dyslexia. She was diagnosed in grade 4, not through a waitlisted school division funded assessment, as they believed there was nothing wrong but perhaps she should be medicated, a suggestion her 3rd grade teacher suggested at parent panel meeting.

My husband & I, paid the ridiculous amount to a Clinical Physcholgist to get the ball rolling, as we knewsonething was wrong and wait & see was no longer an option. We pay dearly for 2 sessions a week for dyslexic tutoring, plus a math tutor to aid her is her disgraphia. There has been little assistance from the public educators, other than creating IEP's.

She is excelling and it has little credit to public educators in Manitoba. They wrote her off.

For a first world country, it's extremely ignorant when it comes to education & dyslexia, we should really take a page out of Europe's education system. It's a very real thing there.
