INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE "LEARNING: THAT IS THE QUESTION"
Learning can be hard. Is the school inspiring or restraining?
San Marino, september 19-20/ 2014
A confrontation with the Italian law no. 170 for the right to education defense of learners with dyslexia was and is still very strong. Although there are positive responses, which see didactics changes, rejection attitudes prevail and dyslexic students often cannot find useful solutions to their problems.
The recognition of the rights indicated by the Italian law no. 170 are sometimes seen just as a mean to exclude dyslexic students, to build up a sympathetic, defeatist or even punishing educational path, which humiliates students’ feelings and sensibility. The granted pass mark always sounds as a message of incompetence and inappropriateness which does not take into account learning diversity as a personal enrichment.
However, in spite of this law school is still a risk factor for dyslexics.
During this convention some "friendly-school" experiences will be presented. These experiences will show that the possibility to build a learning community really exists. A community where everyone can find his own dimension, without giving up or staying in a corner. Learning is growing, and therefore, it is a everybody’s right.
