As I become older and more irascible, I am convinced that unless weis
eventually 'hold the line' and require reasonable skills in reading,
writing, and math to earn the As and Bs in college courses, then the
products of our societies populated with 'so called' educated people will
start to seriously deteriorate. If we really get to the point where most
college grads can't read or follow directions (assuming here that the
directions really are clearly written), then we have a real problem.
Passing this group along with high grades for inferior work 'because this
what we get' is part of the problem, not the solution.
