Students these days, according to a colleague at another state school, can't or won't read, write atrociously, are addicted to their phones, and can't sit still.
Honors students are in a different category, of course. 😉 But some of this seems spot-on, I have to say. For instance:
"They can't sit in a seat for 50 minutes. Students routinely get up during a 50 minute class, sometimes just 15 minutes in, and leave the classroom. I'm supposed to believe that they suddenly, urgently need the toilet, but the reality is that they are going to look at their phones. They know I'll call them out on it in class, so instead they walk out. I've even told them to plan ahead and pee before class, like you tell a small child before a road trip, but it has no effect. They can't make it an hour without getting their phone fix."
Any comment, on this point in particular or on the essay as a whole?
