I’m tired of all this bashing of college students, book banning and trashing the liberal arts. As a retired school librarian it saddens me that it might just keep getting worse. I once sported a bumper sticker. “We still read”. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michael...h=2104520a4c90

It's become far easier to watch Netflix at night than read a book. Of course, there was a time where reading was one of the few ways to pass the time. Nowadays, not so much. I will say, the people I know who are avid readers are more intelligent and have a greater vocabulary than those who don't. I attribute that to being exposed to more information and distinguished language.
Well, it sure seems like the teachers union members have done a bang up job pumping out illiterate kids, guess we need to give them all pay and benefits increases now.
I remember reading articles where college professors were complaining that their students actually turn in papers with the same abbreviated, pop culture text shortcuts to speech that they type into their phones. Seems they were not making that up.

Where in the world did you come up with this nonsense? Do you even know any Classroom teachers? If you think they are so overpaid, apply for a teaching job.
Education has been one of the dominant topics in American society for at least the last 20 years…there’s even a sub forum on city data dedicated to it.
Perhaps there’s something to the idea that education and inquisitiveness is something that starts at home? Perhaps money and government involvement just can’t fix it at this point?
Or perhaps we really are devolving…one 30 second Tiktok video at a time?

Fast food pays better than teachers here. Subs make $80 a day. My daughter has her teaching certificate but works home health care because the pay is much better.
