Tech has a place in the classroom, but that place isn’t “everything everywhere all at once” and I think there is a good value in teaching kids when they’re young when and where to put their phones and tablets down.

Tech has a place yes, the problem is school admins have chosen to use it as a replacement for competent, well compensated teachers.
