uh, sorry, did she have an accident sometime in her teenage years that made her unable/lose her ability to read?

if not, i doubt high school is the problem, and we need to look ALL THE WAY BACK TO FUCKING CHILDHOOD WITH YOUR PARENTS. WTF?!?!

edit: ADHD, school didn't provide support since 5. parents didn't move or do anything since she was 5! seriously?! i get schools fucking suck and a lot of admin don't give a flying fuck about kids with issues, but for parents to not check, for them to do nothing since she was fucking 5!!?!?! that's child neglect!

Every school does this mate. Kids can’t read anymore because how they are taught in school doesn’t work at all and was brought on by a grifter.

the school system rn is a mess and does not advocate for children, it just tries to get them out the door and graduated. schools reward basic effort nowadays, she graduated with honors because she completed her work--her teachers must not have given a single fuck if they couldn't notice that she can't READ or WRITE.

Not the teacher's fault. We are not allowed to fail them. No seriously I'm not making this shit up, We Are Not Allowed To Fail them.

They get 50% just for writing their name. Homework or classwork they get full credit even if the work is pure gibberish.

Admin makes the rules and we have no choice but to follow them. And if someone does actually dare to fail someone? Admin just comes in after we leave for winter/summer break and changes the grades.

Definitely an admin problem

At what point are parents liable for their complete and utter failure as parents.

Oh wait, if she is illiterate it would have to be them filing the lawsuit

Of course the parents are also liable, but this doesn't erase the fact that a student can graduate from this school without basic reading and writing skills. The school is obviously not doing its job, and pushing kids through the system.

Respectfully, there is a lot of glossing over of her behavioral issues in this. Oppositional defiant disorder ain't no treat to deal with in a classroom with other kids, same with ADHD, and this girl had both.
