I have doctoral writing skills and a lexicon that staggers the average folk. I write literature as a passion and even I agree that essays and most school work are useless nonsense. Everything up to collage should be how to pay taxes, cook, change a tire, fix things around the house and so on. Beyond that is for academia.
Knowing how to write and therefore reason at a college level takes at least the elementary school years to develop.
The failure of K-12 schools to improve overall literacy has resulted in universities dumbing down entry requirements and course writing requirements.
This, in turn, has contributed to the collapse of higher ed, which is being accelerated by the critical studies indoctrination scandal.
It seems to work like this: The less literate the incoming classes, the more gullible they are to neo-Marxist indoctrination, not having read anything besides pop fiction or comic books, if that.
It is impossible to advance an illiterate person to fluency in one course like freshman composition; in fact, people buy their degrees while not being able to write as well as a high-schooler.
