This is basically technologized neglect. I'm glad the district banned personal devices like phones and smart watches. That's something.

We really need to get our act together with these screens, but they're just a symptom, imo. The mother in this article is probably not alone in thinking, "we're just letting this happen." We just let a lot of things happen. Education needs a kind of rebirth, imo.
