@KellyCNBC For you as a Mom: There is so much historic children’s literature out there. In general, it’s rather good. Why wouldn’t a 10-12 year old be exposed to Heidi, the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Dr Seuss, or other Caldecott Award literature?

How about all of the books being written-down versions of TV shows?

My biggest issue with the book fairs is the number of graphic novels. The kids need more books with words, not less. I understand the need for graphic novels to bridge the gap for kids who don’t like reading. But those should be in addition to books with words, not replacing

Just a few years ago, America’s public schools were rushing to get every child a laptop. Now, the conversation has flipped.
After pouring billions of dollars into laptops, tablets and apps, many schools are facing a digital reckoning.

We need to reckon with the cultural implications of trapping an entire generation at home with nothing useful to do. @BenSasse on @WSJFreeEx

All the middle school kids and high school kids I talk to despise AI. They regard it as a tool for cheats but one they feel pressured to use. It reminds them of smart phones and social media and they want to get ahead of it this time.

The inability of US AI companies to engage US youth into a very positive future has conceded to doomerism and nihilism in to their consciousness. The Pickle Ball industry does a better job in engaging the youth. One more year like this and the political winds change—permanently

@JayWoods3 @IvanTheK but i mean they could get $75B regardless of spx inclusion i would think?
English
@KellyCNBC @IvanTheK Nope - valid question. I'm old school - you need to earn your way in, not change the rules. Also if you recall, TSLA needed to be profitable for four quarters before joining the illustrious group - I'm sure Elon remembers the wait.

@kellycnbc The question not being asked on SpaceX:
Does the stock need to be included in the S&P500 at the IPO in order to raise $75 billion in IPO proceeds?

@jbarro Our middle schools in town tried to bring back their team sports a few years ago but couldn’t get enough kids bc of club/travel competitors

I have never heard any parent speak positively about this travel-team private-league sports stuff. So why do they have their kids participate in it? (The answer is rarely "my kid is headed for D1") Don't schools have teams anymore? theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…

I'm not just raging against the machine (ed-tech) without doing something about it. We're literally hosting an entire summer series on my podcast, Ave Explores, about reading and books and literature and life.
Join us for weekly episodes, beginning today through July.

"I'm getting great prices," says @RealByronAllen on why he's buying media companies. "I love buying from private equity because I'm an owner operator."

My 3rd grader had both computer lab as an enrichment and a Chromebook in her classroom this year.
The detox from tech that we’d have to do every day last fall drove all of us insane.
So we made a deal in the spring: if the teachers let them have “free play” on the Chromebook (which seemed to be a frequent thing, it wasn’t really being used for actual instruction, it was just busy work/killing time), and if she had a choice of what to do, if she chose to read a book & then complete an AR test instead of playing bottle or doing iReady or scrolling Epic, we’d pay her $2 per book & test.
I‘ve paid out about $120, but my kid’s brain wasn’t mushy after school anymore and her vocabulary & reading comprehension improved so much she jumped 20 points on the Star reading assessment they took at the end of the year.

I think they should take chromebooks out of classrooms entirely because they’re glorified tablets. Bring back having computer lab as a class so they know how to save documents to their computer and include typing lessons as well

Parents are waking up to how bad screen time is for kids. Schools that have banned phones are seeing extraordinary results.
@esaagar breaks down the vibe shift, and says parents are now asking to get rid of school-issued Chromebooks and switch back to pencil and paper.

No smoking gun, but the preponderance of evidence points to smartphones, not economics, as the culprit for the global drop in fertility: • In the US and UK, births fell first and fastest in areas that got 4G earliest • Birth rates were stable in the US, UK and Australia until 2007; in France and Poland until 2009; in Mexico and Indonesia until 2012; in Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal until 2013-15 Each of these inflection points matches local smartphone adoption (see picture). • The younger the age group, the sharper the drop. • in-person socialising among young adults is dropping. In SK, by 50% in 20 years • Sexual dysfunction is higher among heavy social media user • Effect is largest in culturally traditional societies — Middle East, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa • Decline holds across countries hit hard by GFC 2008 and those not hit, fast-growing and not growing.

EVERYONE should agree with her on this one

Given that Red Delicious are the worst apples, have you ever wondered why they’re in every school cafeteria? It’s because there’s a list of "approved" apple varieties allowed in schools, and it hasn’t changed since Kmart sold firearms.

At this point I am genuinely curious: who IS the constituency in favor of tablets and chromebooks in schools for k-5?

Students in Richardson ISD will see less screen time and more physical books next school year as the district reconsiders how it uses technology in the classroom. fox4news.com/news/richardso…

Incredible reporting from Eunice all week. Fending off lasers from Chinese security forces. And talking about Taiwan before it became a huge story.

It’s only “essential” because states require standardized testing on it 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Kids in Lower Merion school district in Pennsylvania get iPads starting in kindergarten, switch to Chromebooks in second grade and get their own MacBooks in eighth grade. Hundreds of parents signed a petition asking to preserve their ability to opt their children out of using digital devices during the school day. The school district has pushed back, saying it’s not feasible to let hundreds of students opt out of technology that is essential to the curriculum.
