It's a shame there are school districts in some large cities that suck up billions in tax dollars yet their graduates are functionally illiterate. There are plenty of examples of poor grammar and bad spelling flooding the Internet. I used to think, "don't people bother proofreading their writing anymore?", but now I'm thinking, "they don't know any better!". Yes, everyone makes mistakes now and then, but errors are becoming the norm.

Or read - many kids coming out of HS say they don't need to know how - they can take a picture of the words on a page and ask ChatGPT to read it to them. What a mess that is going to be in the work place in a couple of years....

When I saw the report with the video of a teacher in California leading her second grade class on a protest of ICE all I could think of were newsreels of the Chinese cultural revolution under Mao. Same with all the protests in high schools and colleges across our land. These kids are clueless. It seems they can quote Marx and spew out the latest left wing narratives, but can't balance a checkbook.
