    not only are there fewer kids, but the kids are less and less prepared for higher ed. i work amidst it. the number of students who can’t even compose a coherent email is mind boggling

      To be fair, even the brightest of kids from 100 years ago couldn’t compose a coherent email.

      I don’t see why this is a problem. Most of the people I work with can’t compose a coherent email, doesn’t this make the kids well prepared for the workforce?

      Sometimes I see comments/headlines and I think: “Is this AI?” And then I think: “Or is this person just stupid?”

      I’ve always assumed it was AI, but maybe “the kids” today can’t write a coherent lemmy comment.
