How does this person have a doctorate?

Probably she bought it online.

The scary thing is that teachers’ jobs depend on her evaluation.

“She appeared to be unaware that “coyote” is slang used to refer to smugglers who bring migrants across the border from Mexico for cash.”

There’s no possible way anybody’s this stupid.

>We have a student who came to America with "Coyote", which is a group that helps people. This group gives you a time frame to make a payment of $5000 dollars to those, who bring them to the states. [Emphasis Added]

She apparently has a doctorate in education, is the assistant principal of an educational institution, and yet somehow never learned that you don't put a comma there...or that the comma after "Coyote" should go within the quotation marks...or that "timeframe" is one word.

I know pedantry over grammar is somewhat frowned upon these days, but come on, lady. You're responsible for educating people. Can you at least run your emails through Grammarly before you send them? If not for correctness' sake, then at least so you don't look more ignorant than you already do for not being aware that coyotes are a nefarious cartel?

I saw this on Facebook (I admin a hobby group and we haven't found a better platform) and people were having a field day with this story. The thing is... I know people are focusing on the principal but holy shit I hope the kid is okay. The fact that his life is potentially in danger over $2000 is beyond ridiculous.

Have you met people with higher degrees? They're more a measure of determination and persistence than raw intelligence, and might legitimately have an inverse relationship with broad, worldly knowledge.

I am sure her doctorate in Curriculum, Teaching, Learning and Leading didn't include intensive grammar studies.

To be clear, I am not saying that anything excuses anyone for poor grammar...just that it's largely unrelated to earning a higher degree.

I don't think that's usually something an Assistant Principal does, is it?

She is basically aiding in a criminal act , how can a person this educated be this asinine. Reminds me of that judge in MA that got in the way of ICE and a illegal immigrant that had drug trafficking charges.

How does she still have a job the education system in Rhode Island is as political as anything else it’s crazy

Yeahh. Pretty sure that's illegal.

Yes it is; would be borderline impossible for only the head principal to handle all evaluations for a school.

Human Trafficing is illegal on the Federal and State level. When did America become so lawless?

Assistant principal….doctorate degree but yet that email was sent.
