LEGO just dropped its largest set ever: La Sagrada Familia.

It has 12,060 pieces and costs $800. The set comes 100 years after Antoni Gaudi’s death (June 10, 1926).

The details are insane including spires, carvings and interior with light shining through stain-glass windows.

We don't know whether it was smartphones/social-media or edtech that was the bigger contributor to the decline in education outcomes that began in the 2010s. But new revelations show the tricks Meta, Snap, and Tiktok used to lure students during the school day.

Still more reasons to be technoskeptical

FCC looking into "the surge in screen time for school kids" using its authority over federal $$ for school internet. Carr: "Research has now been pouring in that America’s experiment with heightened screen time in schools may be related to the negative educational outcomes."

@BrendanCarrFCC Use of a computer for teaching is making a lot of people rich and a lot of students dum.

@BrendanCarrFCC My wife is about at the end of her teaching career. She said that we need teachers back in front of the class with books and pencils. Too much dependency on laptops has cause lazy teaching. Most new teachers are on their phones while kids are on tablets.

The Fortune 500, in its 72nd year, just dropped. For the first time in over a decade, it has a new No. 1!

The companies generated a combined $21.0 trillion in revenue and $2.1 trillion in profits last year. They employ 30.5 million people. I’ll be on CNBC this afternoon with the (awesome) @KellyCNBC to unpack it. https://t.co/x8GiPIiJse

Horvath’s critique of classroom screens didn’t go viral by accident. It struck a nerve because it gives a scientific voice to the collective burnout parents and teachers feel fighting the screen battle.

The national trend is clear. Kentucky should respond with a common-sense, targeted policy: a cap on the amount of instructional time that students in elementary and middle grades can spend on screens in school: https://t.co/y0UbpCy5Xp

TD Securities Peter Haynes on benchmark governance rules: "I don't think you want to discount or take away the importance of having a third-party index provider... there are still very significant nuances around how those rules need to be maintained, and that needs to be done by an independent third party."

How about all of the books being written-down versions of TV shows?

[7% (or better) 🇯🇲 @gregNEVERchills]

My biggest issue with the book fairs is the number of graphic novels. The kids need more books with words, not less. I understand the need for graphic novels to bridge the gap for kids who don’t like reading. But those should be in addition to books with words, not replacing

Just a few years ago, America’s public schools were rushing to get every child a laptop. Now, the conversation has flipped.

After pouring billions of dollars into laptops, tablets and apps, many schools are facing a digital reckoning.

We need to reckon with the cultural implications of trapping an entire generation at home with nothing useful to do. @BenSasse on @WSJFreeEx
