Well, it can't be any worse than you have, in that the paper you link to doesn't show anything about what causes that negative Flynn effect. It does speculate, and social media is not on even on the authors' list of guesses. Did you have anything relevant? | ||

Barring any real causal studies, I’ll lean on the experience of teachers and school boards [1]. Note if the article called for instituting a school board ban instead of a country-wide ban, I’d support it. But the article is fundamentally questioning the existence of the problem which was a silly over-reaction. [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/social-media-schools.h... | ||
