It underscores that many districts have experienced a long-term slump in student achievement, not just a blip during the pandemic.

Why U.S. Test Scores Are in a ‘Generation-Long Decline’​

The drops go beyond the pandemic and cut across income, geographic and racial divides, new data shows.

Something troubling is happening in U.S. education.

Almost everywhere in America, students are performing worse than their peers were 10 years ago, according to new, district-level test score data released Wednesday by the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford.

Compared with a decade earlier, reading scores were down last year in 83 percent of school districts where data was available. Math scores were down in 70 percent. The declines have affected both rich and poor districts, and crossed racial and geographic divides.

Might have something to do with reading everything off a screen. I have a great deal harder time absorbing and memorizing off a screen than printed text. Thought it was just me but maybe this is common. Also might have something to do with not teaching cursive. I was taught the read write say method of memorization. Takes way longer to take notes printing than writing in cursive.
