Surely more blame for dumber kids falls on the Republican push to remove actual science from textbooks, than the format in which they are delivered.

I am curious: is this after you have learned of Wikipedia's decision to ditch it, since it's been proven to alter the content of the archived pages?

Schools are meant to teach kids how to think critically, along with basic facts.
Giving them laptops doesn’t teach that part unless you go out of your way for it.
<By that fall, the Maine Learning Technology Initiative had distributed 17,000 Apple laptops to seventh graders across 243 middle schools.>
There's your problem right there, you bought computers which basically have no programs written for them.
