Is it really that bad after all?
A screenshot of a Reddit post from r/Teachers dated February 22, 2024, by user u/DragonfruitBright810. The post's title reads 'The public needs to know the ugly truth. Students are SIGNIFICANTLY behind.' The body text, written by a high school teacher, details numerous basic academic skills that many of their 15-18 year old students lack, including reading at grade level, writing complete sentences with proper capitalization and punctuation, spelling simple words, performing basic arithmetic like addition and subtraction of double-digit numbers, knowing multiplication tables, graphing, understanding negative numbers and percentages, solving simple algebraic equations, taking notes, following examples, researching effectively using Google, and using computers beyond basic phone functions like typing properly. The post is presented in white text on a dark background, with a bulleted list of the deficiencies.
