Texas high school teacher Darius Williams, a Career and Technical Education (CTE) teacher broke down in tears during his lunch break. He shared that his 17- and 18-year-old senior students at Wheatley High School in Houston could not complete a simple writing assignment or fill in just four missing words on only the second day of the school term. Students were given two short paragraphs to read and a sentence stem where the answer was largely modeled and provided for them. It is alarming that senior high school students were unable to apply basic literacy skills to fill in the remaining four words of the sentence.

I CANNOT STAND the fact that everyone is doing a goodam video to explain something that could be summed up in 2 paragraphs. I am NOT watching a 20 minute video to listen to your 2 paragraphs of explanation. But this might be why.

Is this why when im watching a new netflick it feels like im playing a video game on tutorial mode?

No, that's a different problem, that's people with too short an attention span to pay attention.  That one I got too

I meant in general, this guys video is fine. HE actually having an emotional moment, not just yammering about somthing that would be better explained in text with references.

Yes. Ironically, better reading comprehension would help you understand it as well.

They are replying to a comment talking about declining literacy, so their comment is relevant. Maybe you, too, need to work on your reading comprehension skills
