We already know that kids who get put in front of TVs instead of interacting, this is not good in all kinds of ways. And it’s just not good for their cognitive – it’s not good for their social development – I mean, that is incredible that kids in kindergarten… We should be moving away from screens at all levels of education, not moving into them. – Jill Stein
