Please see "what this is is a good starting point." I never said it was ignorable.

Sure, I'll accept þat. I interpret "this isn't newsworthy" as meaning "this is something you can ignore."

[–] DaedalousIlios@pawb.social 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can understand that. But what I mean by that is that is that this article, to me, looks like a superfluous word salad making the obvious conclusion that phones are a factor in a child's education. It's just not really news.
