Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be.

151 – Why Can’t University Students Read?

A recent article in The Atlantic caught my attention. “The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books” by Rose Horowitch shares stories from professors at elite schools who have found that over the last 20 years (the time period in which kids got smartphones . . . hmmm . . .) students’ attention spans have eroded to the point that many of them can’t manage to read an entire novel anymore.
I had some thoughts on this, and my take on whether or not students should be enrolling in liberal arts programs in the first place might surprise you.
Have you read this article? Do you agree or disagree with the anecdotes and opinions shared by the professors? What recommendations would you make to individual teachers and parents about how to help kids practice the skills needed to enjoy and analyze literature?
