Student Faces Expulsion After Posting Video Of Seniors Who Can Barely Read

Another part of the issue is shame. Rather, the lack of it.

Mfs are getting WAY too comfortable being stupid nowadays and people are afraid of saying anything because of backlash. Back in the 2010's people would call you r***rded if you didn't know how to read something and it was a DAMN GOOD motivator to learn.

I'm not saying we need bullying, but we absolutely need to let these people know that it is NOT ok to be stupid

Edit: I'm not saying that shame is THE issue, I'm saying it's part of the issue. Yes proper parenting, resources, and teachers are needed but it won't get through to someone who doesn't want it in the first place

Parents. She forgot parents. Teachers can only do so much - but reading starts at home, with parents.

The failure in the school system is not that these kids can’t read, but that they were promoted year after year without basic literacy skills. And to be perfectly clear, the students are not at fault - they were failed, consistently, and from every angle.

If there can be any result from this video, I hope that it’s those kids get the attention they need. The kid who made the video is a whistleblower, and we cannot retaliate against whistleblowers.

Don't skip past the words "Charter School" too quickly now

So-called teachers and educators? If you're a parent and your kid doesn't know how to read and they are in high school, that's on you and them more than it is any teacher.

She calls the education system "propped up" but the first support to fail was at home.

The American way.

Expelled for what exactly?

I remember my mom reading me the “An extraordinary egg” book when I was 4… there is no excuse to be this illiterate. I also remember getting bumped from the class spelling bee in 5th grade for misspelling silhouette…cmon yall..

YIKES. Just all around.

This is a major problem for teachers. Go to r/teachers.
