Gen Z Students Can Barely Read, Write or Follow Directions In College! A Gen X Professor SPEAKS OUT!

Video Description

Why can't Gen Z read, write or think critically in college? Brace yourself for a jaw-dropping deep dive into the modern college classroom with Professor Matthew, a Dartmouth and NYU graduate, who reveals how Gen Z students are rewriting the rules of higher education—and not in a good way. 🚨 Can’t Read, Can’t Write, Can’t Think Matthew shares how today’s college freshmen struggle with basic skills, submitting "word salad" responses while refusing to accept criticism. Many are stuck at a 9th-grade level, unable to read full-length novels or write a simple essay. To cope, he’s had to downgrade assignments to Google Slides because writing 1,500 words is "too much" for them. 📱 Screens, AI, and Chaos In a world where professors can’t police phone use or AI reliance, students have up to three screens open in class, constantly distracted. AI-generated content often fails spectacularly, yet students lean on it heavily. Matthew recalls one hilarious example of AI writing and citing poems by a famous author that don't exist! 😲 Entitlement and Outrageous Behavior Gen Z’s entitlement is next-level. Students demand professors change assignments at the drop of a hat, harass teachers for fun, and sometimes fabricate career-ending rumors. Matthew opens up about students rallying against him, making unreasonable requests, and even displaying dangerous dark triad traits. 🔍 Pandemic Fallout and Admin Apathy The pandemic shattered what little learning structure was left. Students openly admit high school didn’t prepare them, but university admin remains focused on pushing graduates out the door, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, professors are left to fend for themselves in an increasingly hostile classroom. 💥 Cluster B Personalities and the Mental Toll Ever been harassed for sport? Matthew has. From personality-driven vendettas to hostile mobs, he details the mental and emotional toll of dealing with toxic students. His advice for future professors? Learn to spot manipulative games and avoid getting hooked into battles you can’t win. 🔥 The Future of Education in Crisis Why has college become a glorified daycare? What’s the future for educators drowning in screens, AI, and entitlement? Watch this shocking interview to uncover the truth behind why Gen Z is failing—and what it means for the future of education. #genz #literacy #genx #collegeprofessor #englishteacher #professor #classroom #teachers #darktriad #teacher #classroomoftheelite #ivyleague #reading #books #communitycollege
