Boston Globe: "Anti-Chromebook movement sweeping schools"

via the Boston Globe:

"As Beacon Hill wrestles with a school cellphone ban, local leaders have already launched a more aggressive fight against digital distractions in classrooms.

Across Massachusetts and the country, communities are taking aim at school-issued laptops, ipads, and more. The technology once heralded as the savior of education during the COVID-19 pandemic is now in the crosshairs.

Call it the anti-Chromebook movement.

The push comes more than a decade into a nationwide achievement decline and a surge in youth mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating. While there are other potential explanations, many point to screen time as an obvious culprit."
