@PTBwrites I actually COMPLETELY AGREE. But a lot of people expect these to change test scores, and that's seemingly not happening. Would be good to measure the other stuff.

Not a good day if you thought phone bans were magic. Still a good idea for schools, just not magic.
@eduleadership But, yes, as I say in the peice -- if you think that the causal link is some interaction between smartphones and school closures, or something, that's difficult to rule out.
@eduleadership To be clear: I split the data this way because that was how it was split in the original paper.
As I said in the piece: I think highly of a lot of Jon's work on this and broadly agree with him, but the analysis in this paper is flawed.
Did smart phones cause global test score declines? No, probably not. (It was school closures).
A cautionary note about accepting results because they confirm our priors...

New reserach shows the CDC guidelines about throwing away breastmilk immediately after your baby drinks from the bottle is way too cautious. Bacterial growth is minimal, even for several hours at room temp. This may seem minor but I promise it's not for parents.
