Do you realize that video was produced by CNN and was a Trump hit piece video? Did you actually watch it?
Yes. And?
It seems that the college has more to answer for than the high school, since she was actually admitted to college. Regardless of whether she got passed in classes, the SATs or whatever she took, speak for themselves. She was an ELL speaker from another country, so she would have been entitled to a lot of accommodations in classes.
The irony speaks for itself.
This is SO disturbing!!
I taught fourth grade many years ago, Almost every year, I had at least 1 student who could not read. The school had no tools to help them. By the time they reach fourth grade and can't read, it tends to be downhill from there.
Surely, there are tutors who could have helped this girl. How in the world did she get into a university when she can't read?
The lawsuit is interesting because if a student is not motivated or doesn't participate in class, can they then sue the school district or Board of Education for their failure?
