I don’t think it’s meant to be an academic write up- just a basic idea of the study and results. Though your links do cover it much better.

I have an ad blocker so I see no ads on mine.

I support people posting content, so no worries. I guess if anything, I just want to help people who were frustrated like I was find better content. I don’t mean for it to make you feel bad, keep posting, but the more you can share something that helps the reader, the better for everyone.

Oh absolutely! I do t feel bad at all, and I appreciate the lift! We need to see more of this here.

Yeah, this is Horvath again. My biggest complaint about his research is that it is almost entirely correlation. Horvath specifically blames “edtech” as the reason for the decline, completely glossing over what this article seems to claim as the cause, short form videos and content. Not to mention all of the other societal shifts during this time, like the effects of No Child Left behind on schools.

Anytime I see this guy trotted out and his claims said as fact I just can’t take the article seriously.
