Public schools issuing Chrome Books or similar tablets to all students is one of the worst things to happen in public schools recently. Our youth are staring at screens for hours in addition the time they spend on their personal devices. This has contributed to an increase in mental health issues in juveniles and a decrease in actual learning. There needs to be a return to pencil and paper learning styles.
