[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are students better prepared for college now than 10-15 years ago?[/quote] Well, now they carry powerful little computers in their pockets, so they have immediate access to information, and don't need to go to the library. This tends to make today's students somewhat lazy. And today's students can't write very well. Truth be told, students who can't write well tend not to be able to think very well. So, no, I'd say today's students are not better prepared than those of 15 years ago; but neither were those of 15 years ago as well-prepared or able as students heading off to college 30 years ago. Actually, student quality and the quality of higher education in general has been on a declining trajectory for the past 50 or 60 years. Makes you wonder what the justification might be for the rapid escalation of college tuition over that period.[/quote]
