okay, so, i'm at the college library right now, and the guy next to me is working on an English paper that looks like a pre-schooler's crayon scribble
|
seriously . . . not that I'm spying on him or anything, but he's right next to me, and all of the ink marks that the professor made on the 1st page alone makes it look like a 5 yr old took a purple crayon and just started swatting away at that paper like it was a piñata or something . . .
one example that I just happened to spy on his paper? okay . . . using the word "wither" when "whether" in context is correct . . .
there are other spelling errors marked and who knows what else.
sigh . . . kids these days. since I'm not going to get a teaching job or anything anytime soon, maybe I should start tutoring some of these idiots.
oh, and did I mention that he'll spend literally 30 seconds on the paper (he's basically rewriting it ... didn't he SAVE the copy or anything when he first wrote it?????) and then pick up his smart phone and do something.
someone please tell me that he's not indicative of the current crop of young college students and that we're not all doomed?
