I’d like to think it means less competition for my kids, but as teens they are already frustrated with their peers and will not be happy having to work with the majority of them.

On a more positive note, our quaint native patois will amuse our Chinese masters.

None of the young woman’s sentences were actually questions. But the inflections at the end of each sentence (along with the general lack of confidence in anything she said) made them sound like questions. I mean, it made them like sound like questions? I’m sure that that woman has a Facebook account with a “like like” button. So she can like seriously like. And stuff.

Totally like whatever, you know?, by Taylor Mali

As much as I enjoy broaching these topics with humor the results aren’t funny when these students get out into the real world to compete in a full-time job applicant pool. So there has to be a serious discussion of how this problem became so pronounced and what can be done about it.

I dunno. Some do okay...

As bad as their language skills are, their ethical skills are worse.
Why not skip college altogether, save a quarter million and get an online degree that people will call meaningless because it only cost a few hundred dollars.
Meaningless is an improvement.

KNOW dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers leave them kids alone

***President George W. Bush was considered an idiot by most college professors simply because he was inarticulate.***

I’d forgive this professor for saying the above if it weren’t for the fact that he also said that he, himself, climbed the stairwell. He must be an amazing acrobat if he can climb up the housing of the stairs.

Perhaps slightly off topic, but society used to have "high culture" and "low culture". I remember watching TV long ago and a variety show might have an opera singer, followed by a plate juggler. High culture and low culture. Both are fine. Some people like one, some the other.

We pretty much got rid of high culture, though. Orchestral music? Opera? Even jazz is something for nerds now. Do people read poetry? Latin? Greek? Once upon a time, anyone aspiring to better themselves or to rise up in society tried to get an education in these areas. It made them think better. It made them speak better. It helped them understand "the long conversation" of culture which takes place over centuries of human striving.

I think the 1960s had a lot to do with this problem. All that fancy stuff -- getting dressed for dinner, nice manners, going to the symphony -- all of that was just bourgeois evidence of the stunted life of Americans living in the suburbs. Away with it! We don't need high culture!

Instead, we'll just, like, get funky wi' de homeboys and totally chill. Dat's what real peoples do. And stuff.

And BTW-I am like bookmarking? slike I no I’m knot aloan dealing with all this stuff?

“I’m just like not real sure what I want to do when I graduate? I like thought I would like major in business but there’s a lot of like math and stuff? Plus, the classes in sociology are like easier and like way more interesting? I just seriously like need to focus on like what I want to do when I get out and stuff?”

Like, U could just go do a taping of "Girls Gone Wild" before you decide to take your degree in Art History and move back in with your parents and stuff?

My son Beau, I mean, Bill, he of the perfectly-styled locks, recently said to me, "If you go to Walmart today, can you get me a hair dryer or something?" "I suppose I could," I replied. "A hair dryer or a bunch of bananas? A hair dryer or a package of new socks?"

During a college Physics class, the instructor had just derived the formula for the speed of sound on chalkboard. Drew a box around final equality and declared "also known as Mach 1".

With what sounded like the blinding flash of illumination, from the back of the room came a young, female, BLONDE voice "Oh! Like the car!"

Brought the house down.

I am considering the possibility of having my boys learn a marketable trade rather than going straight to college. That way they will learn the value of hard work and have real world experience. With the glut of college graduates looking for work, a smart kid with those qualities will be better prepared to handle what the world throws at them than some poor kid who wasted their parent’s money majoring in PC.
