While it’s much better than the brain-rotting alternative, this move comes much too late. And I’m not talking about the fact that screens are already everywhere, that’s a totally different topic… but to late for their kids (middle school here…) in particular.

Screens instead of pen, paper and other tools (as well as movement in general) are even more damaging in the earlier years when fine motor control, perception skills and abstract thinking is in full development.
