Technology is ruining young kids. Parents don’t read to/with them anymore. More and more lately start school without knowing how to read.

Well, it’s definitely less work than actually talking to or interacting with the kids.

“Kids are different today,” I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she’s not really ill, there’s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

More and more ppl start college without knowing how to read above a 8th grade levels Only about 32% of college freshmen read at or above the 12th grade level, and the rest fall somewhere between 5th and 12th grade, with the mean clustering around 7th-8th. - https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED596352.pdf Over half read below a 6th grade level, and about a third of high school seniors lack basic reading skills needed for college work. - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/whats-caused-reading-scores-to-drop-to-worst-point-in-decades-education-expert-weighs-in
