It's the screens ban them. All of them. No smartphones, no chromebooks whatsoever. Paper homework only

On the eve of the summit I think this @semaforben column got it exactly right several months ago
Saagar Enjeti@esaagar

.@semaforben is right: We had a decade to figure it out. We didn't and China did. The trade deal taking shape is accommodationist and no matter who wins the next election the option tree they have does not realistically entail a full decoupling like it once did

Trump's goal of getting China to "open up" and bringing along friendly business titans makes this trip more akin to a 19th century trade mission where the oligarchs accompany the monarch in search of lucrative deals in the Orient
Kellie Meyer@KellieMeyerNews

President Trump says he will be asking President Xi to “open up” China for the business leaders he is bringing along “so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People’s Republic to an even higher level!” He says it will be his first request.

Japan Syndrome: An affliction that befalls foreign visitors who realize in sudden horror the dysfunction, squalor and chaos they live in is a choice
BSAT Properties@BSAT_Properties

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX.

@JeninYounesEsq 100%. It is the most difficult problem I face. Its easy to be dogmatic but it collides with a very difficult reality. Hence why we have to at least make schools a tech addiction free zone

It’s so hard. My son is 2.5 and he wants my phone all the time. If I am on it and won’t give it to him he throws tantrums. He mainly wants to look at photos of himself which I guess is normal as they are trying to form a sense of self and understand what it means to be a “me.” I made him a photo album instead but it doesn’t work bc he likes the scrolling and the videos. And I have to be on my phone incessantly for work, there’s no way around it. Trying to navigate this is very difficult in 2026. I’ve gone with putting up with the tantrums 95 percent of the time but occasionally I’ll cave

It's easy for me to say: My kid is only 1 but after seeing all this and the WSJ piece on chromebooks. I will be leading the charge in my school district when the time comes to ritually burn them all and ban all phones from schools.
