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

I was really into Firef*xOS (yes Mozilla really made an OS based on the browser) back in the day.
It eventually died under Mozilla's ownership but the bones were very solid and FOSS.
An Indian startup took it and made a fork KaiOS, KaiOS is still Firef*xOS at its core and is actually the third biggest mobile OS platform in the world behind Android and iOS respectively.
However the real blackpill thing I learned about KaiOS was that it was built for third-world markets in India (KaiOS phones are basically free with a contract) where a large portion of the market is illiterate. This means that most of the phones functionality can be controlled by your voice - so there are millions of Indians shitposting online who are legitimately illiterate.

He had his phone read out LessWrong posts which he recognised words in so he is actually very high IQ unlike the other pajeets.

If you think AI is going to destroy humanity and the internet just think about how many third worlders get access to the internet every day.
