S:2 E:59 - WIDE RIGHT TURN - #67 - SEPT 11 2025

THE SIXTY-SEVENTH INSTALLMENT OF WIDE RIGHT TURN FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE... - Tom Kelly and Joey Correnti team up once again and dive into funding, functionality and frustration over screen time in schools. Do we need to remove screens from kindergarten through 2nd grade? No phones, no laptops, no desktops, no tablets, no smartboards, no calculators while only using pencils, crayons, paper, books and tactile manipulatives? Research for the last 30 years points to better learning, retention, cognitive development, and even mental health for students who write and calculate by hand and who read printed books, not screens! Any K-2 classroom with windows should be able to function when the power goes out. Other than adaptive tech for special education, the only necessary electrons firing in these classrooms should be between people's ears.   #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #TOMKELLY #WIDERIGHTTURN #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY
