Great report on the national security threat from TikTok, and short-form video in general. These damage cognitive development in the West, while China protects its kids. Australia is the best model for USA: delay to 16 chinarussiareport.substack.com/p/short-form-v… via Atlantic Council writers:

As a university professor who uses Dr. Haidt's literature in my media effects class, the evidence is mounting in support of banning phones, tablets, and laptops in the classroom. In my classrooms, I'm seeing a slow return to the classic method of note-taking.

Two more studies show that when young people quit or reduce social media for as little as one week, their anxiety/depression drops. One (with no control group) was written up in the NYT: nytimes.com/2025/11/24/hea… The other, much more rigorous, was conducted by Meta and then

May be the #1 parenting mistake of the past 20 years: parents treating iPads/tablets like mini-televisions. iPads/Tablets significantly damage a child’s brain. How can we stop parents from giving their child tablets? What can be done to get schools to stop using tablets?

The more time students spend on screens, the less they learn. Ed tech does not belong in schools (until it is thoroughly tested & proven to help). Excerpt from Jared Cooney Horvath's excellent new book, The Digital Delusion, in The Free Press thefp.com/p/we-gave-stud…

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned. “Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.” Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s. So, what happened?
