So you teach something that doesn’t involve any writing? Or you have absurdly high-performing students.

Kids are absolutely illiterate, now, and it has nothing to do with “transactional” anything (witness the fact that the article says they’ve been transactional for this professor’s entire career and you didn’t notice).

You can argue it doesn’t matter and reading is dumb now that we have TikTok, but there’s no objective way to say that kids are currently reading and writing at grade standards at any level of school.
