Did schools stop teaching kids that dialogue needs to have punctuation at the end of it? Because I see entirely too much dialogue in fics that is completely unpunctuated. It's just "I am an example", no period, no question mark, sometimes no commas. Why???

Terrible punctuation has been around forever, but I've only recently noticed the widespread no-punctuation-at-the-end-of-dialog phenomenon.
