I'm not sure if emulating the wealthy is really a path to success for a broad swatch of American children, but I do agree that there is more at play here than the pandemic. Children who hadn't even started school yet are still impacted. While the years of missed classroom learning have definitely had a huge impact, the prolonged and unrelenting nature of the downturn in academic progress points to something more persistent. I think we have to blame "phones" and computer time at a young age for a lot of these problems...
