• I'm a 4th grade teacher. Half my class can't sustain attention for more than 8 minutes. I'm not blaming the kids. I'm blaming the 4+ hours of daily screen time most of them have had since infancy. We have no real classroom policy, no parental support framework, no guidance from the district. Something needs to change but I don't know where to start.
