    I feel like it’s easy to blame social media…I don’t think students are challenged to read enough at any level of education

    Yeah like I said earlier in the thread, I don’t think this is anything new. I remember being in middle school over 20 years ago and tons of kids didn’t read. People were blaming video games and MTV. A lot of it had to do with kids being made to read books they weren’t interested in, so they couldn’t read denser material, either.

    Neoliberalism is focused on churning out a workforce using as few resources as possible. It’s not interested in making educated human beings.
