[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/27/us/connecticut-aleysha-ortiz-illiterate-lawsuit-cec When you over accommodate and advance every student regardless of abilities [/quote] Note that the student herself is suing the school system that failed to teach her to read. She seems extremely hard working, but it is very hard to get by in today's world without being able to read. Unfortunately, many school systems have not been explicitly teaching kids to read for many years. Some have finally adopted curricula that actually teach reading, and some have actually gone backwards (I'm looking at you, Fairfax County). I think the point about how she acted out is important. We talk so much about student behavior issues and want police in schools and blame parents, but we don't talk enough about how poor literacy skills are directly tied to behavior issues.[/quote]
