She’s a fabulist.
Her family moved from NYC when she was five.
Her claim makes no sense. This is, after all, NYC.
I believe that’s probably a kernel of truth to her story. One or more teachers likely did, at some point, tell her that she needed remedial eduction. Heck, she’s an ignoramus who needs remedial education right now.
Wasn’t her father an architect? Or did I imagine that?
