Backlash Against Digital Devices in Schools

Anna Soffer, a middle school teacher in Los Angeles, recalls the initial enthusiasm: "The idea was that technology is the future, so we need to put tech in every child's hands." But now, many are questioning whether this approach is truly beneficial for students' learning experiences.
