The School system just needs more money. 😀
Let me guess - instead of learning 1+1=2, she learned math is 'racist'.
She should sue her parents, too. They are also responsible for her not being educated.
Bet her dad is not around
The classmates from her previous schools should sue for all the school work they had to do instead of playing with their toys and friends. Then the students in uconn should sue uconn for all their time wasted at their schools since you clearly do not need any proper education to enter the school.
Why even give this retard a voice? Stop making stupid, non productive to society people famous, please.
Yes. Back in the day she would get a dunces cap and ridicule. Being dumb is not something to aspire for.
I approve of that approach. We devote waaay to many resources to the bottom quartile of people, in so far as to take resources from high achievers. For what? So the EBT Americans can read and know that mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell? All the while we hold back the generations of geniuses that would have otherwise taken us to Mars.
And before anyone jumps down my throat about the importance of reading. Do you truly believe the bottom 25% even thinks about the words they read?
Before WWII, almost half the kids were held back in first grade due to poor reading ability. This was the priority schools placed on reading proficiency back in the day. I used this data in my dissertation to support an argument against social promotion.
And 8th grade was enough of an education for them to be contributing members of society.
True. All my pre-WWII ancestors finished school in 8th grade and all had productive careers. Two owned their own businesses, one built tires in Akron and eventually became plant forman, another became a fire-fighter in Akron and retired a captain in this service. Only one graduated high school, but they quit college after one year to enlist in the military. They became a pilot, rose to the rank of major and worked in management for an airline beginning in 1949.

In Ireland we used to segregate classes based on intelligence. A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 for knuckle draggers.
A classes where honours students, heavy concentration on maths and science, B was less intensive, C was aptly named for their destination, Civil service “career” path.
Since immigration became a thing, that’s no longer practiced, because it was racist. Which tells you all you need to know about the immigrants.
Except the part where she gets into college.
In some ways I'm OK with that. The more that happens the more obvious the charade becomes. College is a scam outside of a couple dozen majors. She will fail through college and help lessen the prestige of the institution.
Yes, because the top IQ is at 87, which is well within the normal range. You might be included, since you seem to think the "bottom 25%" is somewhere far lower in intellect. You have to get down to 70 to enter "moron" territory. That might be equivalent to where most children learn to read. But what the heck---the Blue world is all about low expectations.
The nature of high achievers is to surmount environmental difficulties. Sometimes, they have no particular desire to fulfill the life dreams of others.
I said what i said. You can make as many interpretations as you want, and i hope I offended you. I don't see the point in devoting what is seemingly unlimited resources to those that won't move society forward. Especially when they're cutting opportunities and positions for the high performers. An 87 IQ person is going to be a good roofer or cashier, but they won't become much more than that in terms of a career.
Public school is just a daycare at this point. I'm not concerned about dreams and ambitions, I want a society that recognizes and rewards talent and ability. Plenty of them will make poor life decisions and squander their talent, I don't want society at large to do that for them.
Yeah, I know the argument. Useless stomachs. Let them starve. We fought a world war against someone who had the same idea. Your objection of "devoting...unlimited resources to those who won't move society forward" is wildly exaggerated, when it seems to be clear that the person in the case is reasonably bright, and the school was just too lazy to teach her. (However, I do get a vibe that she is not much interested in doing the work of learning how to read.) The parents could have taught her; home schooling is famously effective. But in this case, the school system was not merely incompetent or negligent, it was fraudulent---in promising what it did not deliver, and delivering something under false pretenses. Evidence, perhaps, that the school administration was populated with the Under 25% cadre.
Plenty of people at that IQ level are sane and productive---as you admit---but not much below 70. What is your answer? Keep them perpetually in Special Ed daycare? That is how it was done. Drive them off a cliff? Meanwhile, what is wrong with someone who is a good roofer or cashier? Don't we need them, too? Or do we shoot them if they don't become real estate developers or bankers?
My father was a very bright man and a responsible family head. He worked as a railroad shipping clerk and later a refinery technician while raising a family and putting himself through night school to earn a degree in economics and certification as an accountant, studying surveying on the side. He became an accountant, which worked well for a while, until he hit a career reversal just as the Boeing Layoffs occurred, which killed the statewide labor market. The only job left was to be a sexton at a cemetery, which he did, not being too proud to let his family starve. I take your snobbery as a rather personal insult.
High performers are always needed, even if not always appreciated. Plenty of people started at a humble occupation and worked their way up. Part of being a high performer is NOT making poor life decisions. And part of society moving forward is for the decision makers not to make poor employment decisions.
Alright, we're done here. You're an inauthentic person using some AI to enhance your writing. The triple hyphens are a dead giveaway.
You're a hystrionic woman who wildly misinterpreted what I said. Almost to point of comical absurdity. You got deeply offended by my statements which I did appreciate. So, thank you for that.
Classic midwit, or the overused reddit term Dunning-Kruger effect.
And you are soooooo wrong. I use triple hyphens to make a dash. My keyboard doesn't have a dash, and I don't want to use time to go hunting for a symbol insertion. My writing is off the top of my head, so I guess it is a complement for you to say it is "enhanced."
My sex would be a surprise to my wife.
Not spent much time around education? My former spouse was a career first grade teacher and I got a good glimpse of the problems. She specialized in dealing with dyslexia, a serious problem if you are afflicted with it and a major impediment for children in the lower grades (and higher grades, too, if it is not caught and dealt with). Frequently confused for lower IQ.
And the glorious sign of argumentative victory: you insult me and call me names.
Thanks for confirming that you don't know what you are facing, which was my original observation. I've seen the kids that were put in Special Ed. They are peaceful, confused, and mostly empty. Somewhere among them, God denied one 45 IQ points and gave them to me. I think on that a lot. What am I doing with my advantage? The Right Stuff...or simple Overlordship. If you want to know pity, think on "the lower 25%" and stop dismissing them as trash, to be thrown out and forgotten as fellow human beings.
That’s actually infuriating for all. How negligent to not attempt to teach a student and then pass her through AND now she’s in college.
She stole a White kids place.
That white kid didnt have a place to begin with. She stole a black kids spot. That's RaYsiIsTs
Same teachers treat your white sons and daughters with contempt.
Academia has been digging their own grave for over a decade. Every time it's revealed how little "education" actually amounts to, another spadeful of dirt is flies out of the pit.
How did she fill out a UCONN college application while unable to read and write?
I would like to know what her ACT/SAT scores were.
Lefty Lunatic school admin filled it out while they sent her to the corner... probably.
I wonder which racist teachers were sending the "dumb brown girl" to the corner instead of figuring out why they were having a hard time reading & truly giving her an education?
I had at risk youth I worked with for almost a decade that I was constantly helping figure out where they were weak & how to get stronger. Never got paid excped in bruises, the occasional adrenaline rush, and watching them grow to the potential I saw in them. Often they simply needed an adult they looked up to to believe in them & set a higher standard for them to aim at & encourage to reach multiple times per week.
Maybe she can play basketball well.
When I was in high school you had to have an A average to be on the Superintendent honor role. I think it was a C about 25 years ago. I suppose all you have to do now is show up.
Let me guess, she got a full ride?

I taught for 41 years in an urban district retiring in 2020. My last year I made $90K, plus another $7K for coaching, and I had the Cadillac of health insurance coverage. I was paid that high because of the graduate degrees I got which the district encouraged. This was for 185 days of work. YES, I WAS OVERPAID!!
Atleast she knows how to read a ballot
