[quote=Anonymous]No, they aren't. I've seen a big change in the writing ability of college freshmen over the past ten years. Students today are weaker writers. I believe this is the result of increasing grade inflation in high schools, readily available technology "aids", and less critical feedback by high school teachers (probably because parents today are more likely to blame the teacher if the student does not receive As). Many students today have unrealistic impressions of their own ability levels and preparation. Independent endeavor and grit seem to be lacking, at least compared to college freshmen ten years ago.
