Books, not technology, is the basis of learning

Parents are increasingly worried that schools are leaning too heavily on technology at the expense of real, book‑based learning—and the results are showing. Instead of each generation surpassing the last, today’s students are slipping behind in reading, writing, and critical thinking, even as devices become more central to the classroom. Screens may offer convenience, but they cannot replace the depth, focus, and retention that come from engaging with physical books and sustained reading.


The statistics and test scores make the trend impossible to ignore: when education shifts from thoughtful, paper‑based learning to fast, shallow digital consumption, children lose the very skills that once propelled them beyond their parents’ achievements. This isn’t progress—it’s a warning sign.
