My wife and I both teach college. Most of the students we see have been so mindfucked by school over the years that they are really at a loss when it comes to thinking for themselves.

brrrr.
My high school english intructor ended up being my 101 instructor in college many years later. She saw my consternation with my classmates and actually offered to move me to one of her other classes where the mean IQ was a bit higher. High school is turning out a bunch of barely literate retards these days. Parents need to step up or the kids will never be able to leave the house.
