[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The worst thing about the students today is they simply cannot or refuse to put the time into, writing well. It's abysmal. I thought I was judging too harshly so I went back and looked at my own papers in college. Even kids who are here spending 40k a year of their parents money and went to good private high schools turn in papers with multiple incomplete sentences. They are either dumb or lazy, or both.[/quote]

My opinion: Shit writing is due to combo of 24/7 use of shorthand on iPhone & kids don't read books (no attention span ... due to being on their iPhone 24/7).[/quote]

That's like excusing people from being obese because of the microwave and the innovation of fast food. There's self control for the mind too.[/quote]

But when your parents are on their electronics 24/7 and give you a tablet at age 6 and a phone at the age of 10, it is really hard to learn self control.

Just like if your parents served you fast food and processed food your whole life.  Kinda hard to go off to college and learn self control by eating salads daily.  [/quote]
