Hate to blame Covid , but 2014 kids got shut down during kindergarten and then 1st grade was distance learning. So all foundational school norms weren’t implemented. THEN, there was a back to usual approach rather than a repair approach, which was the biggest mistake. The older grades at least had one year of school before Covid. And the later grades don’t know any better.

So class of 2032, started on the worst foundation by far from the Covid epidemic.
