I think we are in for big problems. I graduated from college in 2017 and my adult classmates couldn't even pay attention in class. If adults are hooked then children stand absolutely no chance.
Lieutenant Colonel Heffington on West Point, published in 2017:
> Academic standards are also nonexistent. I believe this trend started 10 years ago, and it has continued to get worse. West Point has stated standards for academic expectations and performance, but they're ignored. Cadets routinely fail multiple classes, only to be thrown back into the mix. The faculty is expected to somehow drag them through the academic program until they manage to earn a passing grade. As a result, professors have lost hope and faith in the entire Academic Board process
And this is supposed to be the most prestigious institution in the armed forces, the people who will have nuclear weapons in their hands...Chilling. That's how the West ends up with leaders who do not know how to lead, reporters who do not report, officers who are clueless about real war, and diplomats who are incapable of being diplomatic
She can also not write a 10-paged paper about shallow topics. I don't know what she can do tbh and I am really not trying to be arrogant or shitting on her. She uses her sister, who is smart but easily manipulated by younger sister with big pleading eyes, as a ghostwriter to pass all exams during Corona.
And she really isn't the only one. Some universities are incapable of guaranteeing a minimum baseline of quality of their graduates.
I've learned a lot more on YouTube than I did in a classroom, and I don't buy the idea that reading is somehow a superior form of learning than video.
