This is something we see with our students at school. I think we do them a disservice assuming they have skills we had to acquire as technology progressed. Even something as fundamental as typing is not being actively taught.
You took the words out of my mouth! I am grading reports and one of the students had to resubmit because they were missing page numbers.
It was resubmitted in time and…well, they technically got those page numbers on there. By manually adding them on each page. No, not in the footer; by just adding some line breaks and typing a number.
Another had the same issue and apparently printed their report and added numbers by hand and then took pictures with their phone and submitted their report as 25 .png files.
It’s all good though. They’re business students who go on to work with some of the biggest companies and have starting salaries over €50k minimum.
Even something as fundamental as typing is not being actively taught.
To be fair, you can’t really teach that. We had classes at school which helped a little, but most of my skill came from Chatting on MSN with my school friends…
