hmmm?

Yesss, this ex teacher thinks so too

"I see this stratification in the classroom and on the page every week. My students from districts that protected sustained reading through small class sizes, strict phone policies, and faculty who refused to teach to the test all arrive with their attention relatively intact. My students from districts that surrendered to devices and standardized testing arrive cognitively winded. A democracy that requires a literate electorate is now training one fraction of that electorate out of literacy while marketing to the other a “deep work” lifestyle as a luxury good. The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow." #literacy #education #books #democracy

WTF?

Tried to find 1984 and Brave New World at @gutenberg_org

Could not find both.

George Orwell is not listed in the search anymore.

I have downloaded both of them from there several years ago.

What the heck is going on?

If I have made a mistake in the search, let me know.

"We cannot keep conferring degrees on students who cannot do what the degree is supposed to certify. ... If we want literate citizens, we will have to rebuild the conditions for #literacy deliberately."
