Yes, a substantial number of college students are illiterate. How recent a discovery is that for you? And how much soul-searching have you done as to the inevitable character problems underlying such illiteracy and how you propose to handle them? I for one would prefer that you to get back to your research, even in the event that it's relatively worthless research (as much of it tends to be).
I implore you to see a psychiatrist or a job counselor if necessary. In other words, I question the utility (and amusement value) of your blog. Maybe you wouldn't be in this position had you refrained from relying upon the idea that you - oblivious to hidden problems of your own and of others - could use your students for your own advancement.
What?
Ah, but we all need to vent in order to keep our sanity when dealing with students year after year, semester after semester. Not everything has to be So Very Serious.
I love this blog. :)
I get emails just like this all the time (usually "but I tried really HARD why doesn't my grade reflect that?" my response: Because you failed all 3 exams).

In what position do you believe pedagoog and other submitters to this blog to be? If we accept your position that a substantial number of college students are illiterate, it makes no difference whatsoever whether pedagoog is doing research, teaching happily, or twiddling his/her thumbs all day.
For those of us so depressed about the current state of public education that we wonder about our own children's ability to survive the imagination-crushing rituals of SOLs, some find it more helpful to laugh in amazement and rueful despair than to wallow in self-pity or treat the occasion as another reason to trumpet our own humble high-mindedness about the world.
Illiteracy is not a "hidden problem," and now neither is your lack of a sense of humor.
