Are the youth of today coming out of school with lower reading and comprehension skills, or is their poor spelling and grammar on the internet simply a product of the new medium?
If their skills are lower, is it part of a gradual decline or a jump down?
What role do schools, television, and new technology play? Is it true, as it seems, that many people in schools today cannot read and understand a book, and much less would ever do it for pleasure? When I was in high school, class of 2002, it was already obvious that many students couldn't read and understand anything longer than a page without help... and to get through reading assignments, the teachers would read aloud in class, and have the students do the same, and they couldn't even pronounce the words.
Please state your age when answering. Mine, 23.
