Her daughter is regularly late or absent, she complained, and her mom fears her daughter might not graduate high school and have her college admission rescinded.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            What\u2019s going on? Her mom, who encourages making mindful choices about technology at home, thinks using technology at school is leaving her daughter stressed and exhausted. Human beings have evolved to interact with one another, use our bodies and be outdoors \u2014 not stare at screens all day, she pointed out.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            She\u2019s just one of the many parents telling me they\u2019re concerned about what screens in schools are doing to their kids. The vast majority of US public schools \u2014 88% \u2014 now issue devices to every student, according to a 2025 National Center for Education Statistics survey. My own town\u2019s public schools use a lot of technology, and I\u2019m worried about my daughters, too.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That\u2019s why I wasn\u2019t surprised by the results of an otherwise baffling new , which found students putting away their phones didn\u2019t seem to meaningfully improve learning outcomes.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            I suspect that\u2019s because schools are giving students other forms of technology to replace their personal devices, despite a wide body of evidence showing that educational technology generally makes it harder for students to learn.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Kids perform worse on computers\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Students who use computers more perform worse academically, neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath documented in his book, \u201cThe Digital Delusion: How Classroom Technology Harms Our Kids\u2019 Learning \u2014 And How To Help Them Thrive Again.\u201d These results show up in numerous reliable international standardized tests, Horvath explained in congressional .\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Recently, public school officials in my town held a session in which they encouraged parents to get their kids off screens at home. It\u2019s good advice, and I share it when I speak to parents across the country to offer tips and tricks about how to responsibly manage their kids\u2019 screen time. But the problem is that those same (probably well-meaning) school officials are letting our kids use technology at school.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            One parent told me her daughter\u2019s middle school social studies teacher hasn\u2019t taught a single lesson the entire school year. Her daughter just does exercises on a digital device.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere could have been such good discussions on women\u2019s rights, religion and power dynamics and yet now my daughter doesn\u2019t care at all,\u201d the mom said. \u201cIt is just about how she can get through the hours of online forms.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            This is outrageous \u2014 and devastating.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nearly 90% of US public schools issue a device to every student, according to a 2025 national survey.\" class=\"wp-image-1290\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5cf799ad3875796a530e6483d8ed5003.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5cf799ad3875796a530e6483d8ed5003.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5cf799ad3875796a530e6483d8ed5003-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Nearly 90% of US public schools issue a device to every student, according to a 2025 national survey.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Klaus Vedfelt\/Digital Vision\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The data is clear that students almost always learn best without technology, so I believe K-12 schools will eventually come around to reducing or eliminating screens. Los Angeles passed a resolution in April limiting screen time in schools. The problem is that by the time other districts follow suit, it may be too late for the generation of kids who are using screens in school right now \u2014 including mine.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Screens don\u2019t belong in schools\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Of course, I\u2019m happy for my daughters to learn how to use a computer and how to protect themselves online in their technology class. But they should be learning to read, write and do math on paper, not computers.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Study after study shows that students\u2019 comprehension is better when they read printed material, rather than content on screens. Similarly, they comprehend more when they write notes by hand rather than typing them.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In addition to reducing how much students learn, screens are bad for their physical health. Using screens more significantly increases the risk that students will become nearsighted. Also, using screens is a sedentary activity, but the human body needs to move. That\u2019s why lessons that engage the senses and involve physical activity are especially important.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=1284\">A baby died in this neurosurgeon\u2019s arms.

These things are often slow and time-consuming, and they don\u2019t offer constant stimulation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Screens also, of course, can\u2019t teach students to have appropriate interactions with other human beings \u2014 skills that will be essential for their future careers and long-term well-being.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Parents also should worry that, on school devices, kids could connect with predators, access harmful content, be catfished or face other online dangers, said Lindsay Lieberman, a Washington, DC-based attorney who represents victims of online abuse.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cKids are always going to out-tech us. We are never going to be able to make technology in such a way that kids will not be able to figure out how to get around whatever safety barriers we put in place,\u201d Lieberman said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Lieberman shared numerous games one 8-year-old boy was able to access on his school-issued device, including one that asks users to make life decisions such as whether to wear a condom.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"01 Tin Can Phone.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-120\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/12927940abaa9039ade64175144c7b67.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>CNN<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Landlines are ringing in homes again.

I\u2019m also part of a group of parents in my community who have come together to advocate for limiting screens in our schools. If you want to do the same, Lieberman recommended the resources available from Distraction Free Schools and Schools Beyond Screens.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In addition to having these conversations with your child\u2019s school, it\u2019s a good idea to limit your child\u2019s screen time at home and especially to encourage your child to do their homework and studying without digital devices.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Lieberman got involved in the cause after her child learned about the fictional band featured in the movie \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d by watching music videos in public kindergarten. That\u2019s exactly where my daughter learned Ros\u00e9 and Bruno Mars\u2019 hit song \u201cAPT.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            As I joked at the time to my husband, where else would we have expected our 5-year-old to pick up a song about a Korean drinking game?
