Per the Public Policy Institute of California headlines, “Pandemic disruptions reversed nearly six years of academic progress.”Early on it was clear that COVID was a serious risk for the aged — children much less so. With 5.8 million school-aged kids, the California Department of Public Health reports 1,582,829 COVID cases and 63 deaths, so there are tw...
