Kids talk like their parents do. By the time they get to school, barring concerted effort (i.e. immigrant emphasis on education and work ethic), it’s too late to change.
Betcha Rachel has grown up around big fat mammas who talk just like she does. I’m not convinced she could read well enough to follow the transcripts presented to her on the stand today.
Schools can’t do a good job without help from home.
Actually the way she was looking at the transcript, I was expecting her to actually admit that she doesn't know how to read. After she stared at it for a couple of minutes, I think it was pretty clear that she was NOT reading the transcript. She was just looking at it.
It looked like she wasn’t really able to read the depositions.
