Quote taken from Mark Slouka's essay "Dehumanized" in...Harper's Magazine? I think that's where my teacher got it...

"...even though the inability of two thirds of our college graduates to read a text and draw rational inferences could be seen as..."

AMERICA. WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR STUDENTS? IF THEY CAN'T EVEN READ SOMETHING AND GET A BASIC IDEA OF WHAT THEY'RE SAYING...

Ah, Frosh = unflattering/endearing term for freshmen :P At least at my school.

What's a Blackboard?

Ah. XD

It's kind of a school forum, where teachers and students can have discussions, chat, share documents, assignments, whatever. Colleges have their own individual Blackboard if they do have the program, so students/teachers can't interact with people outside their college. It's a closed network.

Unfortunately, it can be slow and laggy at points, and it's confusing at points, but all in all, it's convenient.
