AGREED!
There are many SEL programs being introduced into our schools/society. Combined with these are programs for "at risk students", ESOL students and those from broken families (as well as many others).
Many (most?) of these young people read at 2-3 grade levels (or more?) below what their age might dictate. If you want to blame them for not being as good as you (M!), and not needing any help, go ahead. Not only can most of these people not negotiate their way around a simple employment contract- it's quite probable that they don't know anyone to help them do it.
And guess what????.... They are U.S. citizens!
Where's the compassion?
