    I'm concerned with the trends in testing statistics from NCES / NAEP. We're seemingly in a national cognitive free fall post covid, and have been in decline since our peak in the early 2010's. Children and adults. Technology, societal trends, covid, other environmental factors, a combination?

    This honestly scares the **** out of me. Anecdotally, outside of nationals trends and stories, I've seen numerous people amongst family and friends struggle with mental/cognitive/emotional issues over the last 5+ years. I sometimes wonder, are we all going r****ded?

    Didn't it bounce back already? Or on the way back?

    (going back to the 70s isn't that bad)
