A former student, Aleysha Ortiz, is suing the city of Hartford and the local board of education. Ortiz alleges she graduated without learning how to read or write. She claims it was due to negligence and lack of proper support for her developmental disabilities.
The lawsuit claims Ortiz was denied necessary testing for dyslexia. It also claims she was removed from special education curriculum and only tested for developmental disabilities on her last day of school, revealing significant unmet educational needs.
Holding kids back & provide extra support costs the school money. A large percentage of schools either don’t have the money or their bloated bureaucracies are siphoning off the money. Where I live the average pay for teaching is like $22/hr. but people in admin easily make upwards of $100/hr. Additionally, the admin staff is many times larger than the staff at multiple schools.
Why would you want to support some one who is considered retarded? When my Grandpa went to college his parents were upset because he was the dumb one.
As it turns out he was way more successful than any of his siblings. He just was dyslexic and probably Autistic.
Yea district admins earn 100k/year on average, it all goes to them. i had a co-worker in a retail job, said the blue district here only offered 25k-35k/year as a starting package but you must commit to a 5-7 year locked in contract, additionally you will have to teach in the most sketchy neighborhoods too. she refused, and this was before the pandemic. last i heard she doing better in TECH. theres even more fuckery with being a private school teacher.
