Why more school districts are limiting screen time for students

The Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest in the nation, has implemented stringent new limits on screen time for its 400,000 students, reflecting a nationwide trend to curb excessive screen use in classrooms. This move is part of a broader effort to address concerns about technology's impact on student engagement, mental health, and academic performance. The new rules underscore a growing belief that too much screen time can distract from learning and lead to issues like reduced attention spans and poorer social skills. Experts argue that these measures could help foster a healthier balance between digital and traditional learning environments.
