Aug 27, 2017, Montreal Gazette: Services for learning-disabled children: 83% of Quebecers think province must do more http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/services-for-children-with-learning-difficulties-83-of-quebecers-think-province-must-do-more A Crop survey carried out for the CSQ, which represents most primary and secondary school teachers, shows that only 34 per cent of the citizens surveyed consider the public school system sufficiently funded to deal with learning-disabled students. Conversely, 83 per cent believe that the government must invest more in both the school system and child care services so that these students have access to the services they need. ... Among the teaching staff, the diagnosis is even clearer: 88 per cent say that they are witnessing a daily lack of services for these students. Similarly, 86.5 per cent find that pupils in their schools are waiting for professional services to which they are entitled.

Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.
