[quote=Anonymous]Are students in general worse prepared than they used to be? Of course. A greater percentage go than used to, so the answer is yes almost by definition. Are students more annoying now than they used to be? The anecdotal evidence strongly points to yes. Are students at a given quality school (say, Harvard or UVA) less prepared than they used to be? That's harder to answer. There is good evidence that even at one of these schools, writing ability of entering freshmen has declined: placement in Harvard's Expos 10 (remedial freshman writing) has been increasing recently: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2011/2/10/expos-10-writing-students/ I will bet that most of the profs whining in the thread have been humanities professors faced with the above fact. I haven't, however, been able to figure out if this is also true of math.[/quote]
