Talking Terd, children arent at risk from covid. All the data proves that. CDC reports are now admitting its a risk to the elderly, not younger people. More kids died from drug over doses and depression (suicide) due to the isolation. Good job, cowards.

From the article the OP linked:


-"New research is showing the high costs of long school closures in some communities."

-"The Covid closures have reversed much of that progress, at least for now."

This is what you call "...destroyed an entire generation in under 2 years"?
OK Chicken Little.

So we should have destroyed the generation physically with covid rather than academically as you claim. I have grandchildren that went through the school closings and virtual schooling. they're are up to speed now and at their grade levels.

Right from the onset you've made one bad call after another, and you just go on digging a deeper hole every time you double down in an attempt to justify your previous statements, and what's worse you use lies to justify your misinformation.
I suggest you get off this subject before you discredit yourself further.

You cowards destroyed an entire generation in under 2 years.

One of the most alarming findings is that school closures widened both economic and racial inequality in learning. In Monday's newsletter, I told you about how much progress K-12 education had made in the U.S. during the 1990s and early 2000s: Math and reading skills improved, especially for Black and Latino students.

The Covid closures have reversed much of that progress, at least for now. Low-income students, as well as Black and Latino students, fell further behind over the past two years, relative to students who are high-income, white or Asian. "This will probably be the largest increase in educational inequity in a generation," Thomas Kane, an author of the Harvard study, told me.
