Both of those statements don't pass the smell test.
First, she doesn't look different than most folks...perhaps a little cuter than most.
Second, her teachers thought she needed remedial education because she was bi-lingual?
She's lying. Again.
The first statement exposes her BS that she is a “girl from the Bronx” - a lot of girls would look like her if she’d gone to school there, but her family had already moved to a wealthy white area by then.
The second may well be true; I don’t know about her wealthy white area, but NYC itself was exposed years ago for forcing children into bilingual education programs if they spoke Spanish at home - even if the child spoke English. This was being done to bolster the number of “special-needs-type” children for additional funding, and driving up membership in the teachers’ unions. It was a disgrace but exposed in the media at the time.
Here in NJ we have a lot of “bilingual” teachers, and it is a scam that leaves those children poorly educated in any language. When I was younger those students would be educated with everyone else, suffering at first but catching up due to the English immersion. The latter program didn’t swell the union ranks, so it was tossed.
