Do not comment on my "view" with nothing to support your opinion. It's rude.

Ok, so, rewind the time, it's 2021. No kids have access to the vaccines. Were you in favor or not of school closures?

It will end up being all kids. All. Of. Them.

Even pandemic babies had lower IQs.

I never said it was "just" 1st and 2nd graders.

They're the ones, though, that we need to especially shepherd through our academic system, and offer this group extra tutoring to teach reading. Because they aren't behind because they don't have the ability - they're behind because they didn't have the lessons.

I have no opinion for or against school closures.

There were no "lockdowns" in the US.

I see you put lockdown in scare quotes.

I'd say there were - not as strict as China's but still meet the definition of lockdowns - back in March-May 2020. There were police curfews, many businesses were shuttered.

Instead of 2 decades why not compare 2018 to today .... much more relevant number as 20 years ago we were much better in Math/Reading.

People were not locked in their homes, as they were in China.

Do you want to try that strategy next time there is a pandemic?

So it wasn't that "lockdowns" failed, we just didn't "lockdown" hard enough

I suspect that history will not be kind to them...

That's odd.

Because I live in a red state where the gov issued an Executive Order requiring all residents to stay at home except for essential activities. And closed all businesses that weren't essential.

Smells like a "lockdown" to me.

I also believe you have an opinion on school closures, but choose not to share it.

They will just re-write it. Just look at what people think the Civil War was about.
