    i think she says it in defense of herself from the learning disability accusations that she simultaneously confirms and denies but also to call other people stupid

      This- I was going to say projecting her insecurity about her intellectual and educational attributes. All she does is shit on others for a college education, reading comprehension, and having a functional life.
      Each of which she can’t ascertain.

      About a 5th grade reading level specifically???

        About any reading level, I’d hear this in school being referred to kids who were behind.. this is so random to ask about

          Well she keeps repeating it 😭😭😭 I just wanted to know if it was like something she’s parroting. Like Ashley Trevino discourse or her political views or whatever 👵👵👵

            Ohh i see,
            Its because she outed herself for having a poor reading level so people always remind her of that when she tries to talk shit, so ig she just started projecting that bc shes not good at having her own insults

    She has a SEVENTY GRADE reading level and she says she’s smarter than like all of the American population because they all read at a 5th grade reading level. I think she just wants to make herself feel better because she knows she’s lower than everyone lol

      Oops I meant 7th grade 💔

    She found something she’s actually better at than some people since she says she reads at least 7th (I think) grade reading level is my thought.

    She wants to make herself sound smarter than she actually is.

    I'm pretty sure she heard the statistics on reading comprehension in America after the election, mixed with some good ol' projection. Same reason she constantly brings up minors.

    yea I think there was a stat circling around online, something like "most american's read at or below a 5th grade level"
