It’s fucking terrifying. Imagine high schoolers struggling with writing their own name.

This made me skip everything that came after. Even illiterate kids can probably memorize their names, even if they can't sound out words. Back up your claim and I'll reconsider.

Elsewhere, in this thread, you'll see me champion reading and learning. I'm horribly saddened that kids don't learn to read well. But this statement seems hyperbolic.
