re: Math and reading scores for 13-year-olds in the U.S. have hit the lowest levels in decades

Yea, I can't really speak on it because we aren't at the level until the fall. I just know my kid is incredibly smart, but will do awful on those tests because he can't focus for more than 5 seconds to save his life.

And even those this has been trending for years, I definitely think Covid hurt the young ones. Everyone was navigating something new.
