@Son_of_dad

Your issue goes far deeper than what the article describes imho, and it appears to be a very special situation. There should certainly be more individualized education programs, possibly more teachers in class rooms, etc. The article doesn't reject that. I would agree with it's meaning (as I understand it), though, that over-reliance on and/or ubiquitous digital devices constitute an obstacle to children's personal developments, their cognitive skills, and learning. But, of course, in special cases it may be helpful.
