student sues school district for graduating

[scruffy]

Where? Seattle. Of course

A student with a 3.87 GPA is suing the school district because she can't read

She graduated with a 3.87 GPA but could barely read, now she's suing a school district in Washington state

Makena Simonsen graduated with a 3.87 GPA but could only read at a 1st grade level. Now she's suing the school district in Washington state.

I wonder how many more of these kids there are? In Seattle? In the US?

It's ok. The country needs more fry cooks and whores anyway.

Around half of school children can not read or are not able to read at their grade level. Thank you to those that pushed the No Child Left Behind idea.
That number is expected to climb.
Our school system has been broken for many years.

I bet she can read her phone just fine.

She may not be able to read, but I bet she knows all 57 genders recognized in leftist Washington and is an expert at putting a prophylactic on a butternut squash.

Lol, hilarious if ya think this only happens in Seattle. If the school has an athletic program there are those getting by with learning nothing. Where I went to highschool 90 percent of the voters voted for Trump. I tutored mathematics there, many I tutored where on the football or basketball team. No way some of those dumb ducks graduated without some funny business.

Funny, but too true to be funny.

She's suing because she didn't jump through the correct hoops to get the free stuff.

If she'd wanted to read, she would have read and nothing would have been able to stop her. From the moment I started learning how to read, I never stopped reading.

I’ll bet she can regurgitate DEI, Climate Agenda, and Communist content with extreme precision. Reading and STEM skills sets be damned.

I saw that headline earlier but didn't read she was suing. Yes, they are probably many instances of this and those very stupid West Coast states of Washington and Oregon were dumbing down the curriculum because it was racist towards blacks.

How can a person have that good of a GPA if they can't read?

God bless you always!!!

The "educators" who give diplomas as participation trophies.

They get grades for showing up.

Typical of today's education of our Children.
Recent data supports your concern: many students are indeed graduating high school without basic literacy skills. As of 2024–2025, national assessments and adult literacy surveys indicate that a significant portion of the U.S. population struggles with reading, even after completing formal education.
Recent analysis shows that one in four young adults (ages 16–24) in the U.S. is functionally illiterate, yet more than half of this group holds a high school diploma.
Many schools transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" after 3rd grade; students who haven't mastered basic skills by then often find it nearly impossible to catch up by high school.
