Tech in Schools: The Screen Time Reckoning

The tech-in-schools boom is crashing — billions spent on devices are now sparking backlash as parents and teachers demand a reset.

Parents are furious — home limits are being undermined by school mandates — and kids are developing addictive habits that hurt focus and reading. The federal government’s warning on youth screen health adds weight, while districts save millions by ditching costly device repairs. The big takeaway? It’s time to ditch the blanket tech approach and find a smarter, more balanced way to use tech for learning — not distraction. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
