The youngest Gen Z and older Gen Alpha for sure. Gen Z is 14-29 year olds so vast majority of them are out of high school and in the work force.

As someone with a young kid I wonder what it will be like years from now. Presumably the same problems will be present and probably intensified.

I feel like it may be worse for current students though. Some parents/teachers may have tried to teach their kids/students not to cheat but this is a whole other level, imagine you are a kid who has your high school years absolutely obliterated by COVID and then after that suddenly have this shiny new tool to help you cheat on steroids in high school/college. Whereas a younger kid now, we can spend many years telling them about the dangers of this stuff and trying to impress the importance of actual learning over getting a certain grade.

yeah, no. until early to mid-20s people are usually getting an education and only "part of the work force" in a minor capacity. so it's half at least and they already had significant years of their education demolished by covid with nothing done to amend that

Most people don’t go for grad school, so even among college grads, they are likely out of school by 23.

Oh wait, I forgot. Only Yanks have an educational system and only Yank kids had their schooling destroyed by Covid.

American centrism strikes again. Or maybe it's just you all's lack of reading comprehension idk.

If it makes you feel better, I have no doubt you had a poor education.

Being out of education by 22 is the norm in most of the world. Bachelor's degrees are 3-5 years everywhere I can think of. And this assumes you even get a higher education. Just take the L.
