If you want to push back against tech’s encroachment into every corner of our lives, you need to be reading books. They’re keen to create a world in which most people are illiterate & addicted to slop, a world without poetry, imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

We bought into the idea that every student needed a device and that more technology would improve learning.
Now we're seeing declining test scores, rising distractions, and growing concerns about student well-being. More tech does not equal more learning. It's time to rethink our approach and put students first.

In Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin founded the Library Company because he believed a free country required citizens who could think, reason and govern themselves. A century and a half later, Andrew Carnegie (and later his foundation) funded 1,681 libraries across the country, this time as free spaces built on the condition that towns would maintain them. zurl.co/iKwp2
