APATHY VIRUS.
CORTLAND SCHOOL NEWS, February 12, 2018.—A $20,000
SUNY Grant will aid SUCC freshmen who struggle with writing. Freshman will be
taught basic English grammar—nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs and how to
use them in a sentence. Once they grasp the techniques they will be given
lessons in paragraph formation.
How
these targeted freshmen graduated from state high schools is a mystery. A further
mystery is how they gained entrance into a school of higher learning. It is
postulated that another state grant will be necessary to research these
mysteries and provide proof of K-12 student progress reports or manufacturing errors.
Professor William Daniels of Buffalo State
suggests that lack of homework, distractions such as cellphones and misdirected teachers’ guidance are fueling
an epidemic of learning disabilities in K-12 schools across the state. He calls
it the “apathy virus.” A progressive group of veteran state educators has embarked
on a separate study to inquire whether or not young teachers are infected with
the same virus.
