    Yes, I read the article. Does not change the rhetoric.
    Gen Z Arriving at College Unable to Read
    GenZ is struggling because of a broken system - and now teachers instead of teaching, lowering the bars even more - without any idea how to fix it.
    Edit:
    Ohh and one more question: how did they get accepted to colleges? Is it okay to take tuition from people who can’t read? And provide them with a diploma without teaching them read?

      It’s capitalism, baby. Doesn’t matter, made money. Turns out, teaching costs money, and barring some students means you missed out on some money!

      So what do? Easy! Admit just about anyone, cut staff, charge more, print diploma and charge them for that too!
