She Graduated with Honors but She Can't Read

4 hours ago

Aleysha Ortiz graduated with honors from Hartford Public Schools but is functionally illiterate, unable to read or write a single sentence.
Despite her struggles, teachers and administrators ignored her needs, leading her to rely on speech-to-text programs for assignments.
She is now suing the Hartford Board of Education for negligence, highlighting systemic failures in education.
Education bureaucrats favor 'test-optional' policies to hide systemic failures, as standardized tests reveal the true extent of learning deficiencies.
Mississippi's Literacy-Based Promotion Act, including a third-grade reading gate, significantly improved reading scores, especially among Black and low-income students.
Mississippi's success contrasts with other states where reading scores have declined, proving that holding real standards works.
The solution to education failures exists, but requires implementing rigorous standards and stopping the practice of passing students without actual learning.
