Teachers Push Back Against Screen Overload

New York’s largest teachers union is rallying for stricter limits on screen time and student-facing AI, pushing back against tech’s dominance in classrooms as schools recover from their first year without phones. With a statewide ban already in place, districts report renewed face-to-face interactions and deeper learning — students say they’ve “gotten their kids back.” Health experts echo the concern, warning excessive screen time poses serious public health risks. The union’s proposal bans one-to-one devices and AI for kids ages 4–8, with older students needing close supervision. Teachers aren’t rejecting tech — they want it to serve learning, not replace it.
