"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.
The last study I saw showed the effects of lockdowns depended entirely on where the child was. In some places student scores came out ahead, some came out behind. Different states and cities handled it differently. The ones who went back to normal sooner, red states, didn't necessarily do better than those that had longer remote learning.
Let's just not mention the trauma of having over a milliion people die, and a million or so more aquiring debilitating health problems.
And the fucking virus causes brain damage, ffs. This is not a controversial statement. It's well proven at this point, and so many people were convinced kids weren't effected by covid (because they didn't die very much) that a lot of them have been repeatedly infected. It's nuts.
It's essentially like we gave 20% or more of kids a concussion. What would we expect to happen after that?
Record profits
you don't breathe in 20 trillion concussions every time you go to the grocery store
Ive only done a few whippets before
