I got this criminal case where there was a fight at school and a bunch of 17-18yo seniors gave handwritten statements to police. I could barely understand any of it. A lot of the words aren’t real or are written phonetically in tiktok slang. Really bizarre

Translation: One rather excitable young gentleman advanced upon the scene in a state of marked agitation, whereupon his counterpart received what can only be described as an unsolicited and rather unfortunate blow. The master of the form then intervened with admirable promptness, separating the combatants and declaring, with that weary authority peculiar to the teaching profession, “Boys, that will quite suffice.”

Nevertheless, the assembled company persists in its low murmurings: the fellow in question, they insist, was conducting himself with all the theatrical menace of a final adversary, teetering upon the brink of a most spectacular collapse of composure—discreetly, of course. One must concede they do not exaggerate. The entire episode was thoroughly irregular and open to the gravest suspicion… and yet, by some inexplicable alchemy, it rather succeeded.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

my kid is almost in hs and has never been asked to write a 5 paragraph (intro/3-body/conclusion) essay, ever. handwriting is terrible and written responses to questions are embarrassingly basic.

they give them erb exams every year and the only area of decline over time is in the writing/language portion, he's otherwise 98/99% in math/logic/science/etc. this is at a k12 that sends ~10% to ivies/stanford/mit and 40-50% to 'T20'-type of colleges. idk, maybe they really dial it up in hs, but i remember handwriting little essays and shit probably by 4th or 5th grade.

How do you deal with that as a parent? I pay my kids cash money for written work product — on note paper. It’s the only way I’ve found to get them to actually write.

What the fuck? The fucking question to the parent is, why would you put up with that?

If your starting assumption is putting up with it, you're fucking failing as a parent, motherfucker

I force my kids to write then we discuss it. Honestly not often or thoroughly enough but time to time I require them to do it. Pencil to paper, no screens, which they consider terribly old fashioned.

According to this teacher: No, they’re illiterate. Not stupid, but unable to use the written word. https://x.com/kprc2rilwan/status/2087631055905800471

The superintendent literally responded to this viral video by saying, “that sounds right.”

Imho we are basically watching evolution in action. Having kids learn liberal arts just turns them into Losers. Being an extremely retarded piece of shit or an Engineer or Acing OCI are the credited paths.

We all know what happens if you try to be a Normal Educated Bro who can write Good Paragraphs. Society completely spurns you. It makes you ill-fitted for dealing with a society filled with stupid assholes & OCI people. If you try to be Normal you’ll just get fucked over. The Loser zoomer who writes well probably gets cyber bullied like you wouldn’t believe and graduates with a Ruinous GPA.

evolution doesn't have a "goal" afaik, it is just fostering mutations that aren't necessarily suited to the environment. the mutation might "work" and is thrown out there without any regard for how it interfaces with its environment. I believe this is how human consciousness came about in the first place.

but yeah, the environment favors the venal or the retarded and we are seeing the fallout of that everywhere even as academics try desperately to deny it with long form Liberal Arts essays.
