Short Falls of the School
No program in place for identifying struggling students.
Child psychologist is available on campus, but mostly to address the needs of students with behavioral issues.
Short Falls of China
There is a large stigma against special education and those with diagnosed learning disabilities.
Many students go undiagnosed and unassisted throughout their academic life due to:
Fear of the parents "losing face" in the school and community.
Fear of the child being treated differently by other students, relatives, and even teachers.
