Neuroscientist： The Devices Schools Hand Out Are Backfiring ｜ Dr. Jared Cooney HorvathDr. Phil sits down with neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath for a wake‑up call every parent needs to hear. Across the country, kids are more distracted, more anxious, and less interested in school, even as classrooms fill up with laptops, tablets, and “learning” apps. Dr. Horvath issues a chilling warning: the very school devices families were promised would boost achievement may actually be quietly eroding children’s attention, memory, and motivation. He and Dr. Phil expose how classroom tech can blunt deep thinking, lower test scores, and reshape developing brains in ways most parents never see coming. In this urgent, brain-based conversation, Dr. Phil pushes for straight answers and simple, powerful steps parents can take right now—at home and at school—to protect their child’s focus, learning, and future before more damage is done.
