… can not read and understand the texts for the course, will not be able to read and understand the question prompts, will not be able to produce much above a 7th or 8th grade written response (on a good day) … What could go wrong?

Brings back blue-book school memories, and “back of book” Dealership memories.
Thought cursive writing was going out? Maybe this will bring it back?
Thanks for the link.

… yep, the biggest problem of all … they have not been taught to nor had much practice in moving a writing instrument. Holding a cell phone from birth makes childhood fine motor development for writing a bit of a challenge.

By design, unfortunately.
Ah no problemo… the educational unions will push back on grading written material due to the extra work load and to cover up their own incompetence in teaching the students literacy.

In the better schools, cursive has been coming back. I sub in classrooms where it’s taught - at least in the public schools. Also in the public school system where I am, the school disables my cell phone reception for anything internet - with which I fully agree. The woman administrator for personnel told me she has no social media accounts. It’s the expensive private school that doesn’t teach cursive - it’s all obsessed with robotics.
(Of course this is at elementary level - and they are teaching about the Revolutionary and Civil Wars (though not in depth - that may be high school). Will take a while to show up at higher levels.

The elites will soon be able to robotize little Johnny with wearables, augemtaions, and neural links.
No to mention, Johnny was also a “desinger edition” baby.
Johnny had gone through several “updated” augmtations; both in hardware, and/or software injections.
Yep, Johnny just wasn’t born into the: “Just-in-time” next-generation, Brave New World synthetic babies.
He was born a tad too late into: The 20th-Worst Century

I didn’t know they had gotten rid of those .
That was the fear of the day, blue book exams. But they told you before-hand that it would be so!
It was the fear of battle and the joy of victory. The completion of an essay or answer well composed would fill one with joy.
I am glad they are returning.
