@MarcArginteanu Thanks for the facts about screen time effects on growing brains. My time in the classroom with 12-14- year-old students was in the years just before personal devices were part of getting dressed and ready for school. And even without them, it was plain to see the chemical reactions from neurons firing, hormones dripping, and family rules mixing it up among the pliable brains herded together to "learn" stuff. It was dynamic and fun till then, but I'm not equipped to deal with it now. I am sometimes not even able to get the remote for the garage door to obey me.
Hi Marc! I would love to have you on my podcast. Let’s talk about books and brains.
