Many US school districts are reconsidering their widespread adoption of student devices due to concerns about screen addiction and distraction. The Los Angeles Unified School District is leading this shift by implementing a new policy that will eliminate devices for younger students and set limits for older ones, alongside blocking certain content and restricting device use during non-academic times.
