@RubiRubidoooo Charging a kid with fraud. Common sense is missing in DAs office.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath just delivered the brutal truth parents and educators need to face:

“Even in schools, it doesn’t matter what the size of the screen is… and it doesn’t matter who bought it… All of these things are going to hurt learning, which in turn are going to hurt our kids’ cognitive development.”

His core warning:

Gen Z is the first modern generation to be less cognitively capable than their parents — despite more years in school.

Attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, even general IQ — all declining.

The culprit isn’t school itself.
It’s the widespread introduction of screens and digital tools for learning.

Across 80 countries, once tech floods classrooms, performance drops sharply.

Kids using computers ~5 hours/day for schoolwork score over 2/3 of a standard deviation lower than those who rarely touch tech.

US NAEP data mirrors it: states adopt 1:1 devices → scores plateau, then fall.

The biological reality:

Humans evolved to learn deeply from other humans, not screens.

Screens circumvent the natural mechanisms of attention, memory consolidation, and deep processing.

When the tool fails to deliver, we don’t remove it — we redefine success to fit the tool (e.g., SAT reading comprehension reduced to skimming short sentences instead of deep passages).

That’s not progress.

That’s surrender.

The cost is a generation losing cognitive sharpness at the exact moment the world needs them sharpest.

Parents, teachers, policymakers:

How much longer do we let screens dictate what “learning” looks like?

@mrmikeMTL Developing the mindset of Unconditional happiness. When happiness requires a condition to be met we change the requirements once that condition is achieved. Happiness regardless of condition is the answer.

Can someone put in contact with KC Conception. My name is Derwin Gray. I played in the NFL and I too am a stutterer. Despite my stuttering, I'm a pastor of a church and I speak all over the world. KC, I'm proud of you!

[Rick Kramer @rickkramer72]

@DerwinLGray @elevenbravo138 This is what we need. Living with a stammer/stutter can be difficult. There is no need for anyone to bully others regarding it. Making fun of it is disgustingly disrespectful.

Process confidence…
When you base your confidence on external factors, it will be like your confidence is on a roller coaster.
It will be high when everything is going good and low when things aren’t in your favor.
Instead, work on developing based on your character and personal effort.
Process confidence comes from knowing who you are, knowing what you need to do, and then doing your work to the best of your ability.

Character Coaches - here’s a simple equation re: the Ministry of Presence:

Inconvenient + Uncomfortable = Commitment.
