I don’t disagree at all. However, no kid can go tech free in school and be prepared for any sort of productive existence afterwards. Yes, that sucks. Yes, it also sucks that the majority of our experience is measured in productivity. But that’s capitalism. I wish it weren’t that way.

These parents certainly aren’t going to prepare to prepare their kids for a digital future. Heck, they’re probably falling for the same AI garbage their kids are going to fall victim to. Just like everything else, literacy needs to be part of the school curriculum.
