The same as the PISA scores. PISA, which might not be well known is the US, is the International Student Assessment for the 15 years old students in the OECD (and non-OECD) countries. The PISA measures their ability to use their reading, mathematics and science knowledge and skills to meet real-life challenges. The PISA scores for 2022 is the lowest in the history of PISA and show a clear trend downward since 2012.
The huge drop in 2022 scores can be explained through the longer school closure period during the pandemic lockdowns. But only partly. The increasing prevalence of mobile phone amongst children and their distractions certainly play a significant part in contributing to the huge drop in PISA scores.
Not necessarily related to the increasing number of air traffic controls incidents, though.
- rowanG077 3y agoI'm not sure phones can explain it. Even when I was in high school 10 years ago everyone had a smartphone with social media.
- uoaei 3y agoYou didn't have the same platforms nor the same dynamics on them. Social media has evolved over the past decade.

- rowanG077 3y agoI don't think there is any evidence that smartphone usage by kids has any impact on brain development.
- exDM69 3y ago> The huge drop in 2022 scores can be explained through the longer school closure period during the pandemic lockdowns The latest PISA scores arrived just last week or so and do not support this. There is a very weak negative correlation between number school closure days and drop in PISA scores, at least in Western European countries. The higher the number of school closure days, the less the results dropped. But the correlation is so weak that it's basically just noise. Scores dropped pretty much everywhere so the pandemic probably had an effect, but the data does not support school closures (or at least its duration) of being the primary culprit. I do not have a good English language source to point to (but the raw data is easy to find).
