American children today demonstrate noticeable declines in intelligence and behavior compared to previous years. Teachers report that students have less endurance and energy due to reduced physical activity during the COVID lockdown. Additionally, young students are using references from the internet and social media that are inappropriate for their age. Many children lack essential skills, such as letter and number recognition, and some have missed foundational literacy and math skills during the pandemic lockdowns.
Less consistent physical activity during the COVID lockdown has affected the kids' endurance and energy regulation.
Because of the internet and social media, I hear second graders making references I understand, but they're too young to, and it's alarming.
I teach first grade, and I've had students who didn't know basic things they should, like letter and number recognition.
Some students missed foundational skills during the COVID lockdown, especially in literacy and math.
