>the quality of teaching however is quite alright overall and there are several students and teachers that are very good at what they do
ime teachers here don't focus enough on actual, native content, but on the whole I don't think teachers are the worst part. I have seen a few kids here and there who have excelled and obviously put in work outside of class, but most, even some grad students, seem to do the bare minimum
>the standards are fairly low
that has been my experience too. and so, as I said earlier, when students do the bare minimum, and the bare minimum is rather low, naturally most of them don't have much to show for their 4+ years of study
>Are things so desperate everywhere in the US?
I would assume not, but I'm still not I'm not optimistic on the whole. obviously I haven't seen all the statistics about it nor do I know different high school and college Latin/Greek/Classics curricula nationwide, so I don't want to generalize too much about my understanding of things. but in the couple different state schools I've been to and the students from different states and colleges I've ran into, most of them do not seem to be at the level they should be for the level of courses they take/took. teachers though I have overall nicer things to say about
>I was considering going there for grad school and some universities seemed to have a fairly rigorous curriculum
which schools were you looking at, if you don't mind me asking?

What are some books about the current state of blue collar workers?
