I totally agree but I would add that even worse is the fact that recent graduates that I have spoken to who majored in History for instance, literally could NOT pass my eighth grade history final. I know this from talking to them. Sure they picked the wrong major but they don’t even know squat about the major they DID study. Much of what they THINK they know is wrong. People used to tell me that the only thing a history major was good for was teaching history but apparently it is now useless even for that. They may get a job teaching history in high school but they can’t actually teach what they haven’t learned.
Agreed - it’s amazing how poorly many colleges “teach” - with many graduates knowing almost nothing or “knowing” false things - or just a smattering of useless stuff.
