Yes it did!

I teach kids from ages ranging 12 to 18 and all the teachers agree there are skills missing from kids who had online classes during the pandemic.

Kids close to 12 have difficulty reading Kids around 14 have serious gaps in computer knowledge.

These seem like skills that can easily be caught up on. I would be worried more about the social anxiety the isolation brought to children in early puberty. It’s heartbreaking to see them like that.

That’s definitely worse. However, we haven’t noticed much of that.

I would even argue that kids were eager to get reunited with their friends.
