In AI era, schools lean analog, limit screens

Across the U.S., lawmakers are weighing limits on classroom screens as districts experiment with analog learning. Resolutions in Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C. restrict device use for younger students, and Kansas schools report a 70% drop in suspensions after cellphone bans and moving devices to carts. Proponents say tech must be used purposefully, the AFT calls for AI guardrails to balance benefits and risks, and educators emphasize that teachers remain central to learning.
