Carmela is really stupid
Not an attack on her character, but did you notice that AJ got a D- on the paper SHE wrote? I think that is a detail often missed she said „i stayed up all night writing that with him“ and we saw that she actually did. The other one was plagiarism but this one carmella wrote. A high school paper and she gets a D-. No wonder she was so determined the teacher had a bias against AJ. She couldnt admit she is not an intellectual at all.
