The confluence of societal and governmental factors leading to these outcomes is an irredeemable tragedy. Nobody gives a fuck about education and the consequences are accelerating

Two of my friends work in education, one in k-12 and the other at a university. Just today, the k-12 teacher says one of their highschool students misspelled “nothing” as nutting. Likewise, the university teacher was grading an introductory chemistry test, and multiple students did not realize a question asking them to use a pipette to measure a mystery liquid was a practical question where you literally use the pipette in front of you. They guessed random numbers.
it's actually wild to me how many of them i see not capitalizing "I" in writing they turn in on assignments. the misspelling is of course also pervasive.
