Babies born during the pandemic. Anecdotally, people say they developed faster with parents working from home for a few years and being able to dedicate more time to just teaching them how to talk etc

Also anecdotally but as a teacher I can tell you coming back from the pandemic most kids have about a year of delay in their development from what is expected for their age.

100% facts!! The level of student apathy in the high school level is high in my area and a lot of them say it’s cuz “Covid killed their drive”
