Covid really did a number on them.

Covid ~~really did~~ is still doing a number on them.

"Mild" COVID causes as much as a 3-point IQ loss and mental health disorders.

I'm not saying it's the cause of everything β€” lax parenting, lack of firm authority figures, and digital attention monopolization are huge factors β€” but constantly exposing them to a mass-crippling virus sure doesn't fuckin' help.

Covid and technology. It's pretty well documented what modern social media does to people's attention spans. On top of it teachers weren't even allowed to take a kids phone in class until recently.
