Being the proud owner of 18 and 21 year old male beings - I'm not surprised. My 18 year old rocked the Reading portion of his ACT test though - by far his highest score.
They are without a doubt the YouTube generation. Their writing is primarily through text messaging. I say on one of my oldest's syllabi the other day the Professor was begging them to communicate with him through real emails and not text messages.
Their attention span at most is the length of one FIFA 2011 soccer game (um honey, you know that's not a real trophy - right?)
Yet still, I love them to death. Mostly.
