Schools across the U.S. are starting to rethink the abundance of digital devices in classrooms. After pouring billions of dollars into laptops, tablets and learning apps, a growing number of schools say it is time to scale back.
You’re partly right. Did you read the article? One of the chief complaints is that in fact the devices aren’t locked down and kids are using them for things like games and youtube.
You’re in a Lemmy echo-chamber for the rest of it. The average user isn’t us.
As for the rest, schools teach to the lowest common denominator. The article itself plainly shows that the people “in charge” haven’t a clue how to effectively monitor, limit, and control usage of these basic devices. So throwing more at them isn’t the solution when they can’t even manage what they’ve got.
Yes but modernOS are advanced enough you dont need to tinker at all, kids will just go to the “app store” install some gacha games and never learn s thing about how the computer actually works. Like that’s kinda what i did growing up except my first computer was command line only so i was forced to do some tinkering.

How can one become a tech nerd without tinkering with things though?
