"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.

    That's real, except for the part about a whole generation. The reason it's not associated with covid brain fog or w/e is because it's not a general trend across the population, but a dramatic dip of people within a specific age group - particularly in kids who are in upper grades in high school rn - kids who were old enough during covid closures to be learning curriculum that you can't just catch up on later, but young enough that a lot of them had no internal motivation to engage with the material.
