You are citing a study that isn't peer reviewed as a "data point" but when you summarize it like that looks like a factual claim when no factual conclusion should be drawn.

It would be an interesting data point if there was any particularly reason to believe the document you cited would hold up to further study.

"Economics of Education Review is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering education economics. It was established in 1981 and is published by Elsevier."

What are you talking about?

The link I followed upthread was to a working paper from 2016, not a journal article published in 2020.
