With students' screen time in the classroom back in the spotlight, could New York City bring back good old fashioned paper and pencil — and even potentially ban YouTube?⁠
⁠
Some parents and City Council members backing the effort say they support technology, but think things have gotten out of hand.⁠
⁠
Here are some of the changes advocates would like to see made:⁠
⁠
- Prohibiting one-on-one devices for kindergarten through fifth grade ⁠
- Banning YouTube⁠
- Forbidding gamified learning ⁠
- Returning to pencil and paper testing ⁠
