That doesn't mean the viewpoint is wrong.
Screens everywhere were arguably less about better education and more about selling billions in kit to a captive audience. AI everywhere in schools follows a similar pattern with similar motives.
The lack of a scientific approach to education is driven by these factors, but also the reality that parents aren't open to the concept of double-blind studies (or any other sort of randomized study) involving their precious offspring. The result of course is that they still take those chances, but now uninformed by the scientific method.
