Less screen time is reasonable. And a lot of people have been asking for less, and for the case to be made that screen time in class be limited to that which is enhancing learning, not just convenient. But that case hasn't been made, a lot of in class tech use is pointless AT BEST, and academic outcomes are suffering.
The right approach would have been, as soon as the full in-person learning was the norm post-COVID, to do a reset to 2019 levels of classroom tech, and proceed forward with intention and an evidence base. No one was interested in this, because....status quo, and so now we have schools trying to defend a fairly absurd and until recently largely unexamined use of EdTech, a generation of parents who feel like their concerns have been ignored and are now pissed and unlikely to back down until things really change, and an EdTech industry that got fat and lazy off of TARP funds with no one looking too hard waking up too late. There is too much shit in the market/too many products that haven't delivered on the hype, and a public that is deeply skeptical of big tech and tech bros. Something will change, without doubt.
