Nah man, it is the reading. Kids are unable to read whole works and need "interactive media" or to have works broken into small bite size bits to be able to function. Plus, reading comprehension is at an all time low. So even if they are able to read they don't fully understand what they're reading unless someone spoon feeds it to them.

I work in education in the US. It has gotten so bad over the past 5 years or so, though there had been a noticeable decline even before that.

I assumed by young people OP meant like 20 year olds, not literal minors. Pretty sure Dracula Daily was mostly non-children.

I have friends that are college professors and seeing the same shit. Our education system is fundamentally broken in America.

I'm curious how your friends feel about this piece.

I'll send it to them! Though it didnt seem to have much to say other than critiquing one woman's article.

AYRT

The critique is partly aimed at professors and what they consider proper literacy. The comments on the critique are also fairly insightful.

I follow the blog of an undergrad biology professor in Minnesota. For about five years now he's been aghast at how horribly the students actually understand the readings. First he tried doing a remedial Biology 101 class, but realized it wasn't the science so much as the actual ability to read. So now he's floating a remedial English/Scientific reading class with the English department.

Is he at the U of M Morris by chance?

Do you follow PZed too? I much preferred when he was doing zebra fish studies. I love what spiders do, but I hate looking at them.

Well. Consider this new anon intrigued. I am going to have to look this guy up.

20yr olds are still children. They just are.

I used to be a teacher in the US south (I'm tangentially still in education but no longer teaching - administration was actually the deciding factor for me there). There is definitely a decrease in students' reading skills. It's appalling.

How do you feel about legal moves to update reading education at the state level?
