Los Angeles School Board Implements Sweeping Limits on Digital Devices in Classrooms

The Los Angeles school board has passed a resolution to significantly limit digital device use in schools, requiring the elimination of devices until second grade, setting daily and weekly screen limits for higher grades, blocking YouTube on school devices, and banning device use during lunch and recess in elementary and middle schools. This move is part of a growing national backlash against screen saturation in classrooms, driven by concerns from parents and educators about the impact on learning and student well-being.
