While you are trying to be sarcastic, you obviously did not read it. There was quite a bit of information in there. Now whether you agree with the info, or do not think it is useful for your purposes, that is one thing, but there was a ton of info in there.
Meanwhile, I note that you said that person would fail your freshman English class. LOL! The piece was a transcript of a talk. Also, I went back to college a few years ago and I can tell you that judging by what I see in the papers written by the college students, that that piece (even transcribed as it was) is far better than the works I read. They can’t punctuate, spell, or write sentences well.
If “they” aren’t passing “your” freshman English class, then how are they getting into college?
“Obviously” insofar as I stated I didn’t read it. So yeah. I’m willing to concede that there might be a wealth of information therein, but if one wants to get a message across, the onus is on the messenger to make it accessible, not on the reader to ferret that message out.
Also, I’m not responsible for the end product of high schools. As a college-level teacher, I was only responsible for teaching them what I could their first year of college.
One more point: don’t be so quick to assume sarcasm from disagreement. I wasn’t being sarcastic at all. I was being honest ... this is a badly written piece, direly in need of editing.
