Do your teachers encourage you to try to write well?
One of the most valuable skills a person can bring to the workplace is the ability to communicate clearly. Whether in spoken or written communication, good grammar is important. When I listen to some young people these days, I cringe. "So like I'm like wtf, right, I mean come on dude get real"
Imagine you are selling a car or teaching an apprentice or applying for a job and that is what you sound like. "I mean like wtf? This comes with a spare tire. How f'n sweet is that?
Needing to have minimal writing and reading skills is not the point. I am asking about the standard teachers encourage.
Perhaps people might read the question I asked and answer that.

I haven't met anyone yet that doesn't have to write something down at least once a week.
You sit a driving test, you buy a phone, you compare prices and go shopping.
Go into the supermarket and the stationery section still has a large variety of pens.
Good writing skills even leads to better artists.

i think the way people speak and the way people write completely contrast. often times people write just like the way they speak, but that's not always the case.
what you experienced was a setting of some youngsters speaking to each other casually. there's no way of knowing that the way they write may be unrefined or that they may speak like that in a more professional setting.
i understand what you're saying but people adapt and adjust the way they act and speak when in different situations.
