Why is this such a problem? Why are today's youth unable to read or do math at grade level? I know Covid caused a setback, but this was going on prior, and continues after.

I just noticed (no surprise), that New Mexico at 21% had the lowest reading competency of all 50 states. Last I read only about 65% of children there graduate high school. I am saddened because it is my home state as I grew up there. I also still own and operate a business in NM so am firsthand all too familiar with the illiteracy and terrible crime rate.
