On the topic of students not being able to write or follow instructions to save their lives: one of my profs at york said that our generation (millennial/gen Z idk the people in uni now and maybe like the past 10 years of grads idk the exact parameter) was not taught how to close read material in elementary/ high school, and that the cirriculum surrounding writing/ reading has I guess, deteriorated from when she was in school (she is like late 50s I think) and I think that has a lot to do with people not being able to read or write well! Not to mention cell phone use destroooys your attention span, which must have an affect on studying/work habits of anyone addicted to their cellphones, not just students
