According to experts, during the first round of school closures, American children were

set back on average by seven months in their reading and math learning.

For already seven months behind on math, if we fall another seven months behind, there

will be no way to know how many months that is.

So I missed part of his setup.

Who said that kids are on average seven months behind?

He experts.

He said, yeah, yeah, experts.

You know, I will occasionally use a flimsy setup to make a joke.

I wonder how, can you look that up?

See if that's a nail like fairly serious.

I heard finally somebody on the news, I believe it was Fox news inevitably pointing out that,

yeah, experts have tested the kids and found out that there was a 50% decline in math skills

and 30% in reading skills during the whole online learning experiment.

I don't doubt that a bit, especially in some grades like second grades, the big grade

least around where I live where you make the leap to the really reading.

That's the reading year.

That's the hammer.

This is where you learn to read second grade.

Um, if half of the second grade year gets got canceled, those kids have to be way behind.

And there are assumptions in the third grade that you can read all right.
