Yep, kids today see it and think its a foreign language sadly. Many can’t even do basic math either. One girl though is suing her school for passing her without requiring her to know basic things like math, leaving her unprepared for college.I hope she wins! And I hope schools at some point begin to take education seriously again.

My grandson and his friends ( at a university ) can read it; they just don't write it. But then, most of them went to private schools, as did the Grand. But he can read it, since that's the way I do write to him ( always have ), when not using email.

But he's also a BIG reader, has always LOVED books, and yet, the news claims that Gen Zers do NOT read books for enjoyment. News items are always painted with a very large brush and the good kids never make the news.
