Lockdown and its Consequences: UK Primary School Pupils Unable to say their Names

For two years COVID lockdown madness was being promoted all over the West World. These are the consequences of COVID lockdown madness in UK primary schools. The Times reports a new inquiry into UK education that significant developmental differences exist in children in large part due to isolation by lockdowns.

The Times Education commission’s final report will be released this week. This inquiry took a year to complete and revealed that many of the children who grew up during the pandemic had serious developmental problems. On average, these children are “almost five months academically behind richer classmates by the time they start school.”

A Headteacher in the UK said some kids are “unable to say their own names and having drunk only from baby bottles.” The UK has been more strict with lockdowns than many western nations. It’s no surprise the effects are this bad. 

The Times says the report will show the pandemic and its socially disastrous lockdowns have made the situation with education in the UK worse, as The Times adds a YouGov poll that showed, the “number of pupils starting in reception who were not ready for school had risen to 46 percent in 2020 from 35 percent the previous year.” 

This is not new. Johns Hopkins came out with a meta-analysis in January 2022 that found that “While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted.” 

Our children were isolated, their social media outlets shut down, and they were glued to the television. How much have we reap? It is exactly what we have reapeared. Our children were stunted by COVID when we tried to end it.
