Ds2 is both clever and has dysgraphia. Just like DS1. So the teacher's expressed views as to why his writing lags his other subjects so badly are:-
- he can't expect to be good everything
- other children would be glad to be at his level even in writing
- there is no problem - he is within the government's expected levels.
I heard all this first time around with DS2 and i wasn't expecting much but it still has the ability to irritate the hell out of me when I have to listen to the cliches all over again.
