>> reporter: it sure looks like the pandemic is over. stadiums are open again. crowds are everywhere. and hardly a mask in sight. bt covid hurt a lot of things you can't easily see, especially in schools. >> need to stand on a mountaintop and yell to folks take this seriously. everything is at stake right now. >> reporter: jeffrey canada knows. he is a founder of the harlem children zone in manhattan. we all knew that the pandemic was going to affect education. but how bad is it? >> we've got the data now. and things are bad. they're actually worse than most of us thought. in fact, i would tell you that we have an education crisis right now. >> reporter: the actual numbers vary by community, but according to a nationwide test given to fourth and eighth graders, reading skills dropped to the lowest point in 30 years.

eighth graders couldn't understand basic concepts, the worst performance since testing began back in '69. >> this is not just poor kids who are living in the urban cities. it's all over america. there has been a dramatic reduction in ela and in math scores. this guess along with the loss of students in school, with increased violence that's happening, behavioral problems the kids are facing. and my career of more than 45 years, i've never seen anything close to it. >> reporter: and it's not hard to see how it happened. experts say remote teaching and a lack of computers at home are to blame. add to that, the fear of watching your family members die. and it's no wonder millions of young people had trouble learning, or even making it through the day. >> we have seen an increase of 50% in the number of children presenting to our emergency department from the beginning of the pandemic to the full year.

>> reporter: 50%? >> 50%. >> reporter: kids were in some sort of mental health crisis? >> yes. >> reporter: so what does the place look like? >> reporter: the chief of psychology at southern california children's health orange county says even she couldn't believe how many kids needed help. >> what we're saying, those of us in children mental health, it was burning embers even before the pandemic. and the pandemic came and threw gasoline on that fire. we're seeing more and more kids coming in having suicidal thoughts. we're seeing more and more kids come in, my grades have dropped, i can't function anymore. and if we don't help kids manage some of these mental health concerns, they can't learn effectively. they're struggling. >> reporter: here is something else that might take your breath away. a university of california study found that during the pandemic, kids spent an average of 17 minutes a day less on school activities. now those 17 minutes might not seem like a aneall a

kids active can do as much for their mind as their motor skills. levels of activity for mild to moderate depression can be as effective as medication. so if we're active, if we're doing well with school, that can affect your mental health, and your mental health can affect your things as well 678 will be w . >> reporter: it's all connected. but the bigger picture is this could be a kind of lost generation, undereducated to the point where it drags down their future and ours. i read one study that these kids' earnings will be affected in the tens of thousands of dollars. >> there is a whole cohort of young people who are not going to get the kind of education that's going to allow them to get the best jobs. it's going to cost lots of kids tens of thouts thousands of

harlem children zone ceo kwame says those numbers are proof that things like intensive tutoring work. so you're paying your teachers extra to stay after school. >> absolutely. >> reporter: using tutor. >> absolutely. there is no replacing the work to be done by shortchanging the investment in time, extra time for our young people in the classroom. >> reporter: and there may be a silver lining for the rest of the country. psychologist heather. what do you think this is going to look like? >> i feel like we could be raising a generation that is going to be a lot more attuned to people's pain. it's going to be a lot more attuned to helping each other, understanding the importance of connection. and that may actually lead us into a better place. so i remain an optimist, even as we've gone through a very hard time. i don't think we're through it yet. buff i do think we can come through and do better.
