Even at Ivy League universities, many native English speakers can't reliably write coherent paragraphs. Yes, it is mind-boggling, but this is my experience even in junior and senior level history seminars - and history majors have to read and write considerably more than many other majors, so presumably ought to be relatively practiced at writing by that point.
