Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Fully compounded by the utter lack of access to brain building, adultless, free range time+area.

- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoI grew up in a rural area. In my late 20s, I went to community college in an suburban area. The entrance exam was populated with HS grads and me. I was from the final generation with constant access to adult-free + free range hours. Everyone else was in the early wave of kids with locked-down, 24/7 adulted childhoods. Their education was comparable to mine - in quality, behavior etc (my kids attended their schools). I was one of a handful that didn't have to start off with remedial classes.
