I'd be sorely tempted to take out the stylus from my cell phone and circle all the errors in that in red. Is your niece stupid or just lazy?

But if she home-schools, she won't have a "flawed education system" and "lazy, overpaid teachers" to blame when her kids don't wind up as prodigies.

I once worked in an HR department where we tested people for civil service positions. One of our job duties was to read tests aloud to people who, for whatever reason, couldn't read for themselves. I had to do it once, and I was sympathetic to the applicant who was bemoaning not being able to read (at this point I didn't know if she had a disability of some kind or what) right up until the point where she shrugged and said, "Oh, well. What are you going to do?"
And I thought, "Um, learn to read?" I didn't say it out loud, obviously, but she lost my sympathy at that point. Dyslexia or sight problems, okay. Not wanting to go to the effort of learning, then fuck you.

Probably got a cushy job at the DMV out of the exam.

Not being able to read would prevent you from performing most jobs, I hope that wasn't the case here. I also worked in the public sector at one point and we had to interview a certain number of candidates with disabilities. It was a waste of everyone's time (and probably not good for their self-esteem) when their disability made them incapable of performing the job duties. But the worst was a person who said "I won't do that" when asked about acquiring the skills she lacked, for tasks which were explicitly listed in the job advertisement. She seemed to think she could choose the parts of the job that she wanted to do and not bother with the rest.
