I come from a family of educators; teachers, administrators, professors, pastors. I teach non-traditional students at the college level. I went to an Ivy League school. When the education system fails it is an awful thing to see. I am reading papers from the students in my class and it is scary and depressing. I am almost in tears. Grammar and mechanics in writing don't seem to exist and the content is almost non-existent. Fluff and nonsense doesn't meet the standard.
Ugh. My happiness is being sucked out of my body with the awfulness of grading.

Is it the computer world and social connecting that makes the younger generation have so much difficulty trying to put together a sentence?
Anon - I have to say that in this case, I don't think so. I think it has more to do with the really awful preparatory education that these folks have gone through.
