I read somewhere a couple of years ago, some scientists showed that as CO2 levels rise, IQ scores drop.

But, me, I fully believe it is due to the war on public education by the US GOP. I wish these articles broke down these scores by school type the children go/went to.

Kids sent to high end private schools by their ultra rich parents probably have seen no such decline. It is like the US is trying to move into a caste society, ruling class and serf class.

edit: spelling

American white students at public schools do incredibly well on the international PISA test. Most private schools aren’t competitive and there aren’t many students in them.
