Example 1: I see college graduates every day at registers who can’t make change; they have to look down at the register to subtract 1.87 from a twenty dollar bill and two pennies.
Example 2: At work, a young woman with a degree in English asked an older woman to “help her with percentages because I just don’t get it!”
Example 3: Spelling is ATROCIOUS from twenty somethings and even thirty somethings
Unreal! Not sure they are learning anything OTHER than community activism.
