"A more tactful way to put it is the ability range of today's 16 to 21-year-olds is very wide."
Always was. There are plenty of intelligent and educated young people out there but they have their own places to hang out and are not really likely to spend long here.
This forum sometimes is like a pub full of grumpy old men with very predictable views. You know the sort of thing, the whole world is going to pot, things were better when they were young, all politicians, are crooks, the young of today don't know they're born etc, etc. and these posters are only really looking for their world view to be reinforced by those with a similar outlook.
