in the US and elsewhere, yeah--the dumbing down of America's kids is already well under way. My nephew who is 14 makes straight D's and F's because he spends most of his time coming up with dance moves to rap music for his Tik Tok account. I'm watching it play out in my own family, and my brother and sister in law don't seem to care. It's crack for developing brains, and it's scary.
