   Where I live in the US there is a movement to A) Prohibit phones from being used in schools B) use textbooks again instead of digital texts C) use handwriting and notebooks instead of Chromebooks for in-class note taking.

   While this might help, and I agree with all these steps, I'm concerned that the root of the problem is simply that the online experience has rewired our kids. Not screens per se, but the feeling of a constantly moving social space which demands their attention.

         Wow, in just one comment you have demonized:

           - teachers
           - unions
           - history
             - as books
             - about specific people
             - about specific topics
         

         You seem to be an incarnation of an actor acting in bad faith with a highly ideological agenda. Perhaps give it a rest?

               As the child of two public school teachers, you don’t have the first clue what you’re talking about.

               But then, I feel I was right in my initial assessment: you’re an ideological shit-stirrer. Stop stirring up shit.
