Are you a college professor? I ask because it sounds like you might be speaking from personal experience with college students.
Oops. I intended for that last post to be a reply to your post #110 where you say they don’t want to read much.
Yep. And it is a national phenomenon. Colleges adapt to their level of academic involvement and functioning because it’s really just a big business.
If they’re not reading books at the Ivy League level, just imagine the rest of higher ed. We’ve also now graduated a generation of teachers with close to that level of education themselves.
