Mathematics, reading skills in unprecedented decline in teenagers - eviltoast

Teenagers’ mathematics and reading skills are in an unprecedented decline across dozens of countries and COVID school closures are only partly to be blamed, the OECD said on Tuesday in its latest survey of global learning standards.

    It’s not the first time I read something like this. But it’s not always because of COVID, school closures and so on.
    A lot of things depend on a student, and if they are not interested in education and do just the minimum, of course, such skills like reading, writing, math, and so on will become worse and worse. I’m at university now, and my brother is at school. His skills and knowledge at that age are worse than mine. And I don’t know why it is so, but you know, if he doesn’t know how to do tasks, he just skips them, and teachers are quite okay with that. But I can’t do it. When I can’t finish something, I’ll do my best to do it. The hardest thing for me is writing something, but I look for examples, tips, and so on. Yesterday, I was working on my paper, and this site https://gradesfixer.com/essay-types/process-analysis-essays/ helped me out because I was stuck. That paper type is not that hard, but I had no idea what to write. I found some useful resources, and these examples helped me out.
