This sounds like BS. Lost presumptive value of schooling. I can sorta believe it for basic literacy stuff below high school, but high school and beyond, it may end up being a net positive. Less crap to unlearn.

Measuring in terms of employment intake is silly when most jobs are under-the-API low skill service jobs/gigs. I doubt there will be any serious losses at advanced skill levels except for meat-market grinder industries that take in fresh grads to backfill burnout attrition.

Entry-level body-shop programming, MBAs, etc. There’s enough slack there since those positions are way oversubscribed. You’ll just have a second-choice cohort for a couple of years. Which doesn’t matter since the meritocratic entrance criteria are mostly a myth.

Agree that loss is distributed very unequally across a lot of variables. Bright, high SES, intrinsically motivated, curious, HS students impacted least because they are already operating well above grade level and are held back by age based curriculum

Getting adequate electronics and connectivity into every home would help.
