M. Grégoire<p>"Things have changed. Ted Gioia describes modern students as checked-out, phone-addicted zombies. Troy Jollimore writes, “I once believed my students and I were in this together, engaged in a shared intellectual pursuit. That faith has been obliterated over the past few semesters.” Faculty have seen a stunning level of disconnection […] it is getting harder and harder and we don’t know what to do."</p><p><a href="https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hilariusbookbinder.substack.co</span><span class="invisible">m/p/the-average-college-student-today</span></a></p><p>Via <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/AstralCodexTen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AstralCodexTen</span></a></p><p><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>universities</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/screens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>screens</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/SmartPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartPhones</span></a><br><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/KidsTheseDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KidsTheseDays</span></a></p>
