You think?! Having to deal with ill-prepared students for college has to be frustrating, even for those who are SJW advocates and supporters. Even some of those who entered the UC system with good grades were not prepared.

Our kid went to an UC almost a decade ago. During the first course taken that required a research paper, the guidelines were (a) pick a side on the topic, (b) search the information, (c) write a paper supporting your position, and (d) don't plagiarize.

The first words out of some of these student's mouths were "What do I need to do to get an "A" on this paper?". So many of the students a decade ago were grade driven and not taught how to apply information to a subject.

I have to think this is only going to get worse with their latest decision, if it hasn't already in the past 5+ years.
