Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Tuesday called school choice the "civil rights issue of our time," bringing his signature issue to a national audience. https://t.co/tHnyV5AcgU

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Another strong essay from a member of Gen Z, decrying what phone-based life did to his generation and calling for phone-free schools and a return to real books. From Peter Biles.

(Where are the Gen Z defenders of smartphones?)

New: Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers' tuition that it's now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects. https://t.co/jL4y3X4dwH

School Vouchers Were Supposed to Save Taxpayer Money. Instead They Blew a Massive Hole in Arizona’s Budget.

My county dollar loss to vouchers was 1.3M for just 2023-24 SY, and the entire county had only 42 participants.

To understand true voucher impact on public schs is to understand the flawed funding.

Hoosiers deserve fiscal accountability and transparency.

Enough!

A good start: we need more awareness and action for our children and youth!

Excellent leadership from HS team in Des Moines, Iowa.

Thank you @JonHaidt for bringing these issues to the fore.

Results on students in a new study of smartphone bans at 477 middle schools:
- Fewer psychiatric consultations
- Lower rates of bullying
- Higher GPAs and test scores
- Results were strongest for girls and schools with the strictest bans

Phones don't belong in classrooms

You’ve probably heard a lot lately about Jonathan Haidt's argument that smartphones and social media are taking a toll on the mental health of young people.

But you may not have heard as much about the other problem he identifies: parents. Our new video explains.
