So apparently, Sweden went all-in on tablets in the classroom--then saw 4th-grade reading scores tank. Now they're spending €60M to bring back real books, because screens weren't helping. And here in the U.S., only 30% of 8th graders read at grade level, with writing scores just as bleak. If one of the most tech-savvy nations is pulling the plug, maybe America should start asking if screen time is quietly dumbing down a whole generation.

Mr. Rush, my middle school English teacher, would be proud to know I’m finally using what he taught me. I’m sure my drafts would still come back bleeding red ink—but I know he would just be making me better. 😂
