    Yes, writing helps with retention - however, writing was never removed from teaching. This is a hard knee-jerk reaction to remove all digital tech possible from schooling.

    Kids attention spans lowering has has little to do with teaching and everything to do with parents giving their kids devices as babysitters from an early age. Mealtimes: ipad, bored? Ipad. Bus? Iphone. Car? IPad.

    Fix that? No, let’s instwad remove almost all the tech from schooling, which will affect ~1/9th of their waking hours.

    Good luck, Sweden. Sincerely.
