    Not really.

    I’ve seen similar complaints about reading assignments for college students as well. The stamina to focus on one piece of work for an extended period of time isn’t there compared to a generation ago.

    You might have had some students not be able to focus before. Now it is almost the entire class.

      can’t run a marathon if you can’t run a mile.

      our kids can’t run a mile and can’t read a minute. and we blame everyone but ourselves for this.
