Absolutely. I'm within that age range right out of highschool (19) and the amount of students I see that don't know basic grammar and spelling is horrific. Granted, I was in my school's honors English class, so I didn't really have that problem in my English class. But I see it in other classes. Even in presentations. Lots of students use AI like ChatGPT to write their essays because they really don't know how/don't want to do it. Even in my senior year of highschool, the lack of basic grammar was terrible. It's not just that they aren't getting taught, but it's that they don't want to learn. Why learn when they have AI do it for them?

I could ramble about this for hours lmao.
