As the school year is coming to a close, a new analysis shines another harsh spotlight on what’s being called a “learning recession” for American students.

According to the latest National Education Scorecard, it's a problem that started long before the pandemic.

The report found children had a steady decline in math and reading scores beginning all the way back to 2013, which happened to coincide with the rise of smartphones and social media.

Compared to a decade ago, math scores today are down in 70 percent of school districts and reading scores are down in 83 percent.

@WmBrangham discussed more with Thomas Kane, professor and faculty director of the Center for Education Policy Research.
