MOMENTUM · SHARE OF VOICE
The backlash against ed-tech is not just about the technology itself but is a moral panic that serves as a proxy for broader societal anxieties about screens, AI, and social media's effect on children. This view suggests that policy is being made in a panic, without a nuanced understanding of the issues.
