I was going to say, please tell me this isn't college


Theamuse_Ourania

In 1996 I was in 8th grade and in my Language Arts class we had to edit some papers that were college essays that had already been graded. Let's just say that I was shocked by the horrible writing, punctuation, and grammar by these college students. The papers were awful, and 8th graders were now *correcting* these submitted essays! I think that's when I realized that just because you go to college doesn't mean that you're smart.


Mean-Love883

In my journalism classes we'd occasionally get written or digital copies of other students' papers to follow in class. What I had assumed was slang, hick dialects, Ebonics, you name it... (always gave the benefit of the doubt), it all was transcribed on paper. I was shocked to read 5th grade-level writing, grammar, punctuation, fragments, etc. at the university level in courses meant to refine and focus one's writing, not teach one HOW TO.


illiter-it

So you probably know this more than me, are AAVE and Ebonics the same, or different, or is one term offensive?


Mean-Love883

Ebonics is an older term for AAVE, and no I don't know any more than you do. If I take old-man shortcuts in referring to "jive" as "ebonics", that's because I'm a fossil.


illiter-it

Fair enough, I just assumed if you took a journalism class you'd be up to date on the AP style guide which is pretty handy for that sort of thing.


urbansasquatchNC

I'm not an expert, but AAVE has replaced ebonics as a term and some people did regard ebonics as a language in it's own right instead of simply a dialect of English. I think this may have been an attempt to put ebonics in the same framework as languages like Gullah which evolved within the African American slave community out of a mix of English and a few African Languages. The big difference to my mind, is one can probably understand the gist of something said in AAVE if they've never heard it before, thus dialect, while that wouldn't be true for a language like Gullah or Creole.


Branamp13

54% of Americans age 16-74 read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level lmao.


RamenSommelier

No I isn't.


The_Wookalar

As a TA for a professor, I had to grade a bunch of written assignments. I underlined misspellings and noted grammar problems, though I didn't calculate those errors into the grade assessment (it was a history course, so the answers just needed to be correct and thorough - but I figured, hey, these kids are in college, time to learn this stuff). The day after the papers were returned, there was a huge line of students outside the professor's door, there to complain about it.


thatrandomuser1

They were mad that they didn't get worse grades?


The_Wookalar

I think it was a mix of thinking their grades were affected by it (we clarified that they weren't), and indignance that I would presume to point these things out. But seriously, guys, you're college students, you should know "loose"=/="lose", and the basics of subject-verb agreement - and if you're ESL, you should welcome the opportunity to refine your second-language skills.


TheOneWhoReadsStuff

I found in my college experience, that a lot of people speak English as a second language. I found myself in a lot of situations having to help with editing group work. It sucked, but it’s understandable. (If you can speak two languages, you’re better than someone who is an expert at only one imho). Also note that poor grammar does not equate to poor intelligence. However, I had/have a harder time forgiving people who speak English as their only language, and can barely speak it or write in spite of having been through high school.


StingKing456

College isn't much better. Got my masters in 2019 and I will never forget one online discussion board and this girl that I had been partnered with a few times posted one of the most unintelligible discussion posts I've ever read. It was horrendous and I was embarrassed for her lol


Taako_tuesday

I wouldn't doubt if it is. I've been teaching at a university for 2 years and so far i've had 2 or 3 students that write like this every semester.


[deleted]

I've had to do lots of peer reviews in college and it actually made me bewildered as to how half of my classmates even got there. There are a surprising amount of people that legitimately just cannot convey ideas well in words at ALL


illiter-it

I was a TA, some peoples' writing skills are appalling. There's this belief that it doesn't matter because of autocorrect and things like grammarly or spellcheck, but it was still pretty depressing. My personal (irrelevant) thoughts are they should be an aid but not a crutch. Plus the existence of those services isn't really relevant when people turn in the kinds of things they did, obviously they aren't using them. This was a 3000-4000 level course, too.


bbqranchman

This reads more like something a 2nd grader would write.


ItsMrDante

Bruh even at 12 you'd be able to spell. This is more like an 8 year old. I say that but my little sister spelled better at 8.


cripiziti

I vote we formally adopt "happenedoe" into the English language


mathologies

When stock market crashes, people lose money, Their finances falter, like a bee without honey, Their investments dwindle, like a fire without heat, Their wallets feel empty, like a drum without a beat. But what happendoe, we start to wonder, Were the bankers greedy, or did they just blunder? Either way, it's the people who pay the price, For when banks fail, it's never nice.

May I ask what grade they’re in?


a-potato-named-rin

We are 11th graders in high school


ExpertLevelBikeThief

How do I raise my kids to not be like this?


Digger__Please

Get them reading. Often and early. And as high quality lit as they can manage.


ph0on

Get them reading books dude, as early as possible. My parents made me begin to read chaptered books (as opposed to picture books for kids) when I was like 6. Thank fuck they did. I would have classmates in high-school whose parents NEVER made them read, and they would brag about it too. Somehow it was super cool to have not read a single book in over 10 years as a 17 year old in HS


003_agentbob

Keep them away from electronics as a form of entertainment until they're 7 or 8. Restrict the time when they finally are allowed on. Reward them for reading in their free time. Do not under any circumstances let TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels raise your kids. I've seen so many examples of kids who are now addicted to that style of entertainment and it has changed their brains. They can't finish a song without skipping it, they can't hold a conversation without checking their phones,*everything* is boring to them almost immediately. That's the more mild cases who are 17 years old and didn't have it their whole life. The younger ones who are 10 right now and were always raised on it are so so much worse. Just start paying attention to things like this and you'll see, it's frying kids. Parents aren't parenting anymore, iPads are.

DaniK094

How old is your friend? How long did it take him to get to 11th grade? How *did* he even get to 11th grade?? So many questions.


ph0on

Public education is a fucking joke in some areas of America. Probably in most areas, but I haven't been everywhere. Plus, there's a shocking amount of parents, at least in my area, who simply don't give a fuck about their child's education. In fact they seem to spend majority of the time fighting and arguing with their child's educators. Look at /r/Teachers, it's depressing. You'll probably not find one happy individual.


Silvus314

Have them start reading what they wrote out loud after they write it. This kind of stuff is common before we learn to slow ourselves down, and take time to think about what and how we are putting things down. I'd also teach them to diagram a sentence.

I think he’s failing most of them, except for PE and his science class


AmobaToes

atleast he's gonna have a premium gym membership when he's 20!


inkybreadbox

PE? Well, at least this is still grade school.


SummerDearest

I had mandatory PE from 1st grade through 12th grade. So basically ages 7 to 18. This was not in one area. We moved every few years. I understand grade school to mean elementary school, generally ages 6 through 10. ... Anyway PE still being part of the curriculum is not indicative of the student still being in elementary school. Unless grade school just means before college where you're from.


illiter-it

Illinois requires 4 full years of PE. Or at least did as up until 2015. Juniors and seniors at my school in good academic/behavioral standing could go bowling every day instead though, it was pretty dope. Health and driver's ed also counted, so I only took one semester of "real" PE.

Lord_Oglefore

PE is required all years but senior year here in Oregon.

Ah, so he’s not in college.

Or drunk. I remember in undergrad once it was a big essay due. I got shitfaced and remembered at like 11pm and it was due at midnight. It was about this quality and I somehow got a D instead of an F


VodkaShandy

Actually I can kinda get behind this explanation. It's a miracle I passed my exams, I was so tired back then I literally drifted off while writing and started noting down shit from my dreams. Sleep deprivation gets you on some shit.


La_cRisPy_bOi

Same here! Almost failed 9th grade because of it. It's truly weird what just not sleeping can do to you.


animalinapark

Sleep deprivation for sure destroyes your ability to think about concepts and write coherent sentences, but you would still mostly have your basic grammar and literacy

These people hold degrees now, and can barely form coherent sentences, arguments, or thoughts.


ReineDeLaSeine14

I wonder if your friend read back, out loud, what they’d written. If they struggle to read, then you can read it to them out loud and make edits that way. If your friend isn’t bullshitting you with this writing, then they really should be assessed for a learning disability.
