Yes, that's very true; most college freshmen cannot read and write the way the professors want them to be able to do. There were probably several people in that class with you who thought it was challenging; judging by what you have said about your grandchildren being in advanced classes, you are probably pretty book smart as well, so the things you found easy in school were probably harder for others. It's all relative.
