My 6th grade student who cannot read past a 1st grade level tested in the 30th percentile…
Naturally we started to think "oh, so maybe she just knows she'll get the extra help so she really doesn't have to do much". So I started telling her "I saw your reading scores and I know you can spell "where" without my help".
Turns out on her reading test……SHE HAD A READER. Someone READ the READING test to her as an accommodation! What the heck.
Edit: to add she is NOT dyslexic. If she gets one on one help she can spell any word and identify all letters correctly without an issue. The main problem is she is in all gen ed classes with an IEP with no other support. It's up to us to figure out her to give her the attention she needs while also serving 30 other students
Surely the very smart and competent education system would never do literally anything r-slurred like this!!! There must be a non admin/teacher to blame!!! but go off i guess
um Counterpoint: Im r-slurred and now I have advanced worthless degrees in how we can make the education system worse!!!
Always remember: tests are not meant to measure ability, they are made to be passed, therefore literally anything that makes number go up = good PERIODT
Person points out IEPs are often r-slurred, and Mr, and Selective-Rainman disease (totally real, btw, and also hes very smart totally) is ready to scold

Lock any student who fails the reading test in a room with half an hour of tutoring per day and a tablet loaded up with "learn to read" videos until they can write a book report on Moby-Peepee. They get hit with a belt once per hour on the first day, twice per hour on the second day, then four times, and so on.
If they can't escape by the time they're beaten to death they would never have become a useful member of society.

Fun fact: at that rate, the 13th day would be more than 1 whip per second (4,096 per hour)

How many days until the whip would have to break the speed of light at the end to keep up?

Speed of light is 983,571,056 feet per second.
Assuming an 8 foot whip, a full whip 'action' would be ~32 feet.
That results in 30,736,595 whips per second, or 110,651,743,800 whips per hour.
Day 35
Edit: oops, a full action would be 32 feet, not 16
