In years past, this has meant buying notebooks and pencils, perhaps even a new backpack. But over the past decade or so, the back-to-school checklist has for many also included an array of screen devices that many parents dutifully stuff into their childrens bag.The screen revolution has seen pedagogy undergo a seismic shift as technology now dominates the educational landscape. In almost every classroom in America today, you will find some type of screen-smartboards, Chromebooks, tablets, smartphones. From inner-city schools to those in rural and remote towns, we have accepted tech in the classroom as a necessary and beneficial evolution in education.This is a lie.Tech in the classroom not only leads to worse educational outcome, for kids, which I will explain shortly, it can also clinically hurt them. Ive worked with over a thousand teens in the past 15 years, and have observed that students who have been raised on a high-tech diet not only appear to struggle more with attention and focus, but also seem to suffer from an adolescent malaise that appears to be a direct byproduct of their digital immersion. Indeed, over two hundred peer-reviewed studies point to screen time correlating to increased ADHD （多动症发病率）, screen addition, increased aggression, depression, anxiety and even psychosis.But if that is true, why would we have allowed these educational Trojan horses to slip into our schools? Follow the money.Education technology is estimated to become a $60 billion industry by 2018. With the advent of the Common Core in 2010, which nationalized curriculumar and textbooks standards, the multibillion-dollar textbook industry became very attractive for educational gunslingers looking to capitalize on the new Wild West of education technology. A tablet with educational software no longer needed state-by-state curricular customization. It could now be sold to the entire country.This new Gold Rush attracted people like Rupert Murdoch, not otherwise known for his concern for American pedagogy, who would go on to invest over $1 billion into ed-tech company called Amplify, with the stated mission of selling every student in America their proprietary tablet-for only $199-along with the software and annual licensing fees.Amplify hired hundreds of videogame designers to build educational videogames-while they and other tech entrepreneurs attempted to sell the notion that American students no longer had the attention span for traditional education. Their solution: Educate them in a more stimulating and engaging” manner.But lets look more closely at that claim. ADHD rates have indeed exploded by 50 percent over the past 10 years with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicating that rates continue to rise by five percent per year. Yet many researchers and neuroscientists believe that this ADHD epidemic is a direct result of children being hyper-stimulated. Using hyper-stimulating digital content to engage” those distracted students exacerbates (使恶化)the problem that it endeavors to solve. It creates a vicious and addictive ADHD cycle: The more a child is stimulated, the more that child needs to keep getting stimulated in order to hold their attention.Murdochs Amplify wasnt the only dubious ed-tech cash-grab. The city of Los Angeles had entered into a $1.3billion contract in 2014 to buy iPads loaded with Pearson educational software for all of its 650,000 K through 12th students - until the FBI investigated its contract and found that now-former Superintendent John Deasy had a close relationship with Apple and Pearson executives. (Before the deal was killed in December 2014, the Pearson platform had imcompleted and essentially worthless curriculum and such feeble security
