Sad .. very sad. How dumb do you have to be not to be able to pass any high school English class? I guess this just proves that if you whine to your lawyer for help, you get a free pass.
"Of course, all information regarding your background, your employment records, all of your class records, past and present, dealings with this and other students becomes relevant, should litigation be necessary," he wrote to the teacher. Sounds like potential extortion disguised as fact .. fucking U.S. legal system. If you can't cut it in high school, then I doubt you will make it beyond your second year in college .. maybe not even your first. I doubt we will see anything in the news when the "victimized" student flunks out of college . if she even makes it that far. This kind of stuff just ticks me off. The teachers are trying to do the jobs that they are hired and required to do, and they just get crap pay, politics, and potential lawsuits as a thanks. Screw the BOE. Let's just pass everyone for just showing up and let the country rot in intellectual deficiency. Asinine doesn't even begin to describe this crap. Note to the legal system ... no matter how hard you try, we are not all equal .. jeez.
