"...requiring roughly 54 hours per child annually, that’s a conservatively estimated 750 million hours (or 86,000 years) of childhood consumed by i-Ready screen time annually — a breathtaking displacement of young American lives into one company’s experimental ecosystem." Those numbers are utterly disturbing! It often feels like child abuse witnessing the pain inflicted on children completing these bogus online digital edtech platforms!
This is absolutely disgusting, what i-Ready is doing. The fact that children in this current generation already spend 4.8 hours nearly every day on their screens . . . i-Ready is totally not helping with our current problem. Brilliant article, my friend.

Agreed - it 100% *is* a form of child abuse.

Everything in this article jibes with my experience as a teacher . Bravo!
