All of us have noticed a dramatic decrease in the ability, and/or work ethic
of our students this term. Not just one particular class. Not just first
time in college students. But, from developmental arithmetic through Calculus.
Not really looking for a philosophical debate on the topic. More just
wondering if anybody else has noticed the same thing. Hopefully, it is a
one semester aberration. (Something about stastically speaking, we can
predict that unusual events will occur, we just can't predict when or where.)

What matters more, yes most of all, is what the teachers are themselves."
