I can’t understand how this is even possible. How do you do homework?
DEI at its finest.
Passing students, instead of holding them back to repeat a grade seems to be a nationwide policy. Not just this school.
Yes, the school system is responsible. However, I hold the parents ultimately responsible for their own child. They probably would have thrown a fit if she was forced to repeat a grade.
Didn’t Trump discuss the idea of a proficiency test of sort given to students before being able to graduate HS? Or was it Vivek?
“ Ortiz said she used apps to translate text-to-speech and speech-to-text to complete her assignments..”
Canada needs their own Elon Musk.
Been waiting for 30 years for this to happen. Thought it would be parent suing because kid was not educated... Not a student suing, though
Aren’t SAT’s required?
Things have changed a lot - due to DEI.
More evidence that DEI is a failing strategy.
But bear in mind that Education is not a federal govt constitutional duty, that is why there has been talk of dismantling the US DOE. Education is not a US Constitutional civil right, hence you cannot be deprived of it. It may be a state right, but that can differ from state to state.
“...that Canadian civil servant who took the government to court for paying him $150 grand a year, and giving him absolutely nothing to do.”
But how was he able to claim a loss?
I don't know. I thought they were optional. There are plenty of smart people who would rather do something besides go to college.
The public school has “No Duty” to teach you how to read or anything else.
There are cities where everyone knows what’s going on, and no one cares. In Connecticut, it’s Hartford, Waterbury, and Bridgeport. People say to themselves, well, that’s where all those no good people live, although there are many in these cities who could be helped.
Did she read that statement or was she speaking off the cuff?
In 1973 SCOTUS decision was it is a state issue.
At least culturally, and morally, to deprive a child of a basic education deprives the nation.
Connecticut. The Loser State.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Having grown up there, I’d say it’s:
Connecticut, The F*** You State.
Pretty easy if you are white kid you have to know the material, or you are FAILED!
If you are a minority, you are “special” and have special needs.
Minorities wonder why they are discriminated against?
Perhaps it is because someone didn’t bother to
educate them out of fear for being truthful with them.
You need another year to grow up and learn so repeat
the class.
“ I’m a very passionate person and I like to learn,” Ortiz shared. “People took (away) that opportunity for me to learn, and now I’m in college and I wanna take advantage of that. Because this is my education.”
Kamala Harris?
No they don’t
Do you remember Clinton’s “No child left behind”? That is what it meant. Not failing a child because it might hurt his widdle feeeeeeelings.
So now you have this.
I have to ask if she graduated with honors, who where the kids that failed?
“Where the heck were her parents all this time?!”
.
I’m in Florida so I’ll guess that neither parents nor child understood basic English.
(Using apps to translate is a clue...)
What were the obstacles she had to overcome?
