Technology in classrooms was a mistake.

Thinking that giving iPads to children would increase their learning ability is wild...

Of course, that's far from the only reason why kids in school suck at reading.

When your brain has been fried by watching TikTok many hours a day, your dopamine levels are completely messed up. That creates a problem because school is very much the opposite - there are no fast dopamine hits by studying math or reading a book. It requires discipline to sit your ass down and study math (or whatever subject it might be).
