While Google executives aggressively peddled crappy e-waste Chromebooks to schools, they sent their own children to low or no-tech schools, just like the rest of the Silicon Valley elite. Why? "There is little robust evidence on digital technology's added value in education," a just published UN report says. We vastly overestimate the power of technology, whether in education or global warming.

  from Jessicah Lahitou
  There's a disconnect between the tech products Silicon Valley parents make and promote, and the tech-free schools they choose for their own kids.
2. Schools bought millions of Chromebooks in 2020 — and three years later, they’re starting to break
  from Monica Chin
  A new investigation calls out Chromebooks for their short lifespans.
