Covid really did a number on them.

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.

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.
