and I struggled all through school with reading and writing even in English (with dyslexia), that doesn't mean that we should relegate Te Reo to an even more of a second class language.
i just want to say fuck French root words in American English
every shit word I cant spell without memory is fucking Latin -> French -> English
lets start removing those
I understand what you are saying, not everyone learns in the same way. This seems to be less of an issue with texts that have Maōri words in them, and more of an issue if your son's teacher not giving him texts that are appropriate to his learning (because they expect all kids to learn the same way). It's fantastic that he is learning te reo through kapa haka.
