Comment on The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

students engaged in off-task activities on their computers nearly two-thirds of the time.

So it sounds like the problem isn’t the computers, it’s kids using the computers to fuck off and being distracted.

Do these not come with any sort of parental controls?

Parental controls are an excellent tool to teach kids how to bypass parental controls.

I support this, so long as there’s no rules against kids learning how to bypass parental controls. It’s basically a CTF. All kids should learn how to mitigate internet censorship.
