“teachers would give me, like if we’re taking a test, they would give me the paper, so I can write the answers down, so I wouldn’t fail the class. And I’m like, ‘well, that’s not teaching me, that’s just helping me cheat”

Confirmation of what we all knew. The fur coat wearing, cadillac escalade driving Norf Avenue Principal queens have been busted so many times its not even worth arresting them. They will just go on to become mayor.

Debora Prestileo is 41 years old. She’s a 1999 graduate of Patterson High School, who 23 years later, still struggles to read

Kids learn basic reading in just a few years, imagine if this "adult" had put in a little effort, instead of buffering up her victim resume.

“you can’t read nothing”
Needs help with grammar too.

China takes the teaching of English very seriously. China is trying to surpass the USA as a world power. Based on the above, do you think China will succeed?

Baltimore voters, especially the black ones, voting for the same old crap. Kim Klacik talked about this very problem, illiteracy in Baltimore schools, during the 2020 campaign, and she got walloped by the naacp racist.

If you reviewed the teachers....probably one out of thirty also couldn’t read.

At some point in young people, the ability to learn to read proficiently fades and is gone. There is a small window that, if you miss it, will never open again, so she will never learn to read properly, like a 6 year old child can.

The adult brain just cannot make those new connections necessary to correlate printed matter with thoughts and words...................

But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be a stupid one...

If you have the motivation, you can probably sit at home and get a basic education by watching You Tube videos. Reading, writing and basic arithmetic, plus every other topic under the sun. Once you learn to read, there are tons of free books available online if you don’t have access to a decent library. Plenty of other reading material available on the Internet too.

It’s not impossible, but very difficult, for an adult to learn what a 6 year old child can do easily. Adult brains are not adept at making new basic connections..........................

But she can vote, that’s really all that matters. And with that type of education, you can be sure she’ll vote D, or whoever fills out the ballot for her will.

Prestileo has good reasons why she can’t read. But what about the hundred who are not disabled yet can’t read?

Thousands probably.

My question is “Why didn’t the parents of these illiterate children say something?”....................

Educated and intelligent are not the same thing.
