A neighbor’s grandson is in his 2nd year of college majoring in English. He’s thinking about teaching at the college level and plans to go for a PhD in English. He’s early enough in the academic cycle to smarten up. Hopefully he will.
So he plans to teach remedial reading that should have been instilled in grades 2-4.
Gonna be surprised...

PhD is a “union card,” a MUST HAVE if you wish to get hired long term at a university.
Once hired, you teach a limited load because you are too good to deal with students and PhD candidates do your teaching for you.
Clear thinking and writing well are in short supply.
I hope there is a better opportunity for him that doesn’t involve rubbing elbows with Marxists all day long.
