Shakespeare must be required reading in all schools and taught by competent teachers.

Remember also these are STEM students - best and the brightest one would hope.

It’s actually much worse, the majority of millennials are literally incapable of holding a conversation with spoken words, oh they can text and tweet, but speak coherent and thoughtful sentences with real substance? Not a Frikkin chance.

I had 2 people in the last year offer me a job for 150K just because I can actually speak to the customers.

Why do you hate ROD DREHER?
He’s the author of this material yet you deliberately
left his name out of the “Author” field when you posted this.

Has ROD DREHER harmed you personally?

Has ROD DREHER stolen your car or your tools?

Has ROD DREHER pawned your bicycle?

Did ROD DREHER kick your sister?

Why does this hatred of ROD DREHER dominate your life?

Simple.

“A”s all around!

It’s the American way.

In my opinion, it’s not the internet causing the problem as it is social media. I doubt many spend any time on the internet. I spend a lot of time on the internet but I am reading news items and FR. If they’re on the internet, what are they reading? Certainly not news. Well, perhaps there is something there for them that I’m not aware of and I prefer it that way, I guess!

They’re on their phones texting for the most part and have learned that they don’t need to know how to compose or even read a proper sentence. Didn’t anyone with a brain see this coming?

This is rooted in a bait and switch.

What professor wants you to think that their indoctrination is the reason kids are less able to critically think? So of course the internet will be scapegoated. Something has to be scapegoated.

STEM professors also push social justice nonsense.

Perhaps not strictly on target, but I'm working with a woman who is "instructing" me on how to use a new software tool. The tool has buttons you can click, tabs you can click, boxes you can check, spaces you can add text, and blue words which are links that you can click. The screens are very busy with many, many choices. I think it's a bad design, but that doesn't matter.

Her typical instruction: "Do ..."

There is then a pause, and then I ask "Do what? I don't know what you want me to do."

And she says (vaguely waving her hand): "Do ... that."

Not helpful.

I guess analyzing an abstract concept like Quality is out. You don’t want to go down that rabbit hole.

I sometimes read local posts by young people on Facebook and can’t believe the amount of of poor spelling. Not just shorthand text type spelling but also sentence structure. Much of it makes very little sense to me but others in their age group seem to understand it. Crazy!

... they are unable to decipher compound sentences, understand relationship between subordinate and main clauses.

Well, the libs have always had trouble understanding this sentence:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

This is a function of admitting thousands of “students” who shouldn’t be there in the first place.

For probably 90%, college is nothing more than day care with sex and alcohol.
