Council Targets YouTube in Schools | New York City News

Two NYC council members are demanding a crackdown on YouTube in public schools, arguing that screen time doesn’t reliably boost learning—and pushing for proof before kids get access. With state laws already banning phones at school, they now want the DOE to restrict YouTube on school devices, while questioning whether students need personal tech and if standardized tests should return to paper. A damning audit revealed thousands of students had multiple iPads—highlighting chaos in device tracking. All this is set to heat up at an oversight hearing today at 1 p.m., preceded by a rally outside City Hall at noon uniting parents, teachers, and lawmakers in the debate over digital learning.
