Probably. I don't have experience teaching younger kids, and my kid is still too young for me to have any first hand experience with the school system, but I've not run into anyone with the problems a lot of these videos are talking about.

I'm certainly not saying they're made up, but the fact that so many of them are attributing these problems to covid "lockdowns" and not the state of education in the US that has existed for decades has me questioning how widespread the problem is beyond what would be considered "normal" levels of underdevelopment.

Whos the reddit op? Whats his background? The commentors could just be a bunch of crackers honestly, considering its reddit its probably accurate. Also most teachers burnout quickly due to the shitty system and the ones who stay are usually hooked up with a kush job, which could explain more of the commentors.
