Comment on Students Are Learning Less and Getting Higher Grades Because of AI, Study Finds
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 week agoWell… the first colleges were established to train clergy, because reading and writing were rare skills at the time, and there was a demand for trained clergy who worked as clerks, accountants and record keepers for nobles who could not themselves read or write, which I think just circles back to the workforce productivity thing.

Colleges haven’t been training people how to read for centuries; it has been assumed that people entering college could read and write with a pen for a long time and college shifted with it.
And the collegiate system wasn’t based on Confucian teaching styles.

Yes but that is exactly the timeframe the person you replied to is discussing.
It has been quite a while since nobles were generally illiterate and needed clergy to read and write for them…centuries in fact
