    OK... ...and?

    It's interesting that you lay it all on "pandemic lockdown[s]"...

    ...when the article clearly says:

    'ACT scores have declined steadily in recent years.'

    And the article actually doesn't make the claim you make in your
    subject, Sunshine. On the contrary, it says:

    'The results offer a lens into systemic inequities in education, in
    place well before the pandemic shuttered schools and colleges
    temporarily waived testing requirements.'

    What’s also informative is how it’s more often Red states whose scores are below the National average… but these largely were also the same states who pushed for early return-to-classroom. Gosh, doesn’t this result in a correlation
    of in-person classroom learning to lower ACT performance? /s

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, it is ACCEPTED that the school lockdowns have NEGATIVELY impacted students across the nation. Desantis, to his credit, opened schools WAY AHEAD of the northern libtards:

    Right…so then why are their scores lower?
