I've heard that there is an epidemic of illiteracy among kids these days.
Pardon my skepticism, but aren't kids these days also known for communicating primarily with text? I imagine it'd be pretty hard to write social media posts and SMS messages, as kids these days are wont to do, if you don't know your ABCs.
