Switching off: Sweden says back-to-basics schooling works on paper (www.theguardian.com)

The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalised approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.

I've always had issues with my hands, bad ligaments since I was a kid. Not a single teacher or adult ever believed me that my hands hurt just from writing a paragraph with pen and paper. It was a bitch and made learning and school an unpleasant experience. I hate that schools think every single child fits into one cariculum , and if you don't fit they blame you for being lazy and they get to pat themselves on the back for "trying" while they let you fall through the cracks

And your parents didn't take you to the doctor? Aren't you covered under their insurance (assuming you went to school in Sweden)?

Nobody ever really believed how bad it was. Not till I was an adult did I realize it wasn't normal. I still haven't gone to the doctor about it, since it's no an issue and I don't write often, but my hands still hurt if I play video games for too long for example

Don't you think maybe you should?

The solution to arthritis isn't to not use your hands. The solution is to start getting it treated as soon as possible.

Cmon... you say you're an adult. Start taking responsibility for your own health.
