Nobody said she should be stupid, Paul. Feral children are not stupid.

Feral children are, however, children that have not been in human society for years. Important years for a child's development. She's not going to have fully integrated into high school level classes in like four months after missing like eight years. There's a lot of things she wouldn't know because she wasn't there to learn them, and what the contributor above was saying is that some of these things the show acknowledges and others they gloss over or only partially acknowledge.

And that's legitimate -- whether or not you consider it a problem is more of a matter of personal opinion, but it's pretty factual that that is how they're writing her character.
