"We are actively dealing with problems remote learning caused. A whole generation of kids is further behind than they were tracking to be behaviorally, mathematically, and in reading scores."

Gee I wonder what would do that, is it three+ years of unmitigated exposure to a virus that causes brain damage? No, the problem is they stayed home, which makes you developmentally challenged, as we all know. Oh, you don't want to get COVID? Then stay home.

    Lock down did rot people’s brains to a large degree. Too many seemed to forget how to comport themselves with others.

      what makes you think "lockdown" did that as opposed to the virus that attacks our brains or the increasingly heightened contradictions of our decaying society

          A lot of those research papers talking about cognitive decline are using go/no go tests, which measure response time and impulse control.

      Definitely proved that we are part of a social organism and not actually rugged individuals on an island
