If you or your kids have been harmed by the introduction of tech into education - please consider joining a class action lawsuit. Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, a former teacher turned cognitive neuroscientist who studies human learning, warned Congress that a historic reversal is underway. For over one hundred years, each generation of children became cognitively stronger than the last. That progress collapsed with Gen Z. Gen Z is now the first generation to score lower than their parents on attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive functioning, and even IQ, despite spending more time in school than any generation before them. This did not happen because of biology 🧠 or teachers or schools. The major change was the mass introduction of screens into classrooms. Across dozens of countries, once digital technology becomes central to learning, academic performance declines. In the U.S., test scores plateau and fall after one-to-one tech adoption. Humans were not designed to learn from screens. We were created to learn from other humans. Screens weaken attention, disrupt memory formation, and train skimming over thinking. https://youtube.com/shorts/1ykKCTcCbKY?si=VO3_nWL4FSrhzbmE A teacher is going viral for calling out the real impact of technology in schools. She explains that Chromebooks, iPads, and other devices are not helping students and are actually making learning harder. Kids are constantly overstimulated and addicted to screens both at home and at school and this nonstop screen time is hurting their attention, reading, and writing skills. While hands-on learning is ideal, teachers are expected to use technology for every lesson and students end up staring at screens all day. The more they rely on screens, the less they pick up a book or even write a sentence on their own without help from AI. Endless stimulation makes it hard for kids to focus, think critically, or enjoy learning on their own. Giving kids more screen time is not solving the problem it is making it worse. The message calls for going back to basics such as pen and paper, workbooks, coloring sheets for younger students, and hands-on lessons that actually let students use their brains! https://youtube.com/shorts/p99Nfk_gH1w?si=nW-9uIIH0yUFcDQ5
