It's worse than we thought.

The results also coincide with the explosion of large language models like ChatGPT, which by many accounts have carved out a new floor for academic failure in both K-12 and college-level education.

"A new floor"? Hold my beer!

While countries like Germany and France rang in at under 5 percent, countries like Poland, Israel, and the United States...

My first thought is: are these low scores after filtering out non-citizen kids who are "refugees", "illegal immigrants", "Palestinians", or whatever the "oppressed" group name is for each western country?

Retired urban high school teacher here.
In my experience:

Here’s the way it used to be:
If a student didn’t do the work, he failed.
That of course motivated most students to do the work.

Here’s the way it is now:
If a student doesn’t do the work, he passes anyway.
School district orders.
🙁

Gone are the days of university freshmen reading classical philosophers like Plato or contemporary pedagogues like Ta-Nehisi Coates.

So low IQ race-monger Ta-Nehisi Coates is at Plato's level in the Western canon?

I think the author and his views are to blame for why American college students have the mentality of 10 year-olds.

The education system has been deliberately sabotaged since the end of WWII.

This is the culmination of a multi-generation effort.
