[quote=Anonymous]I teach 9th graders, and I have a 9th grader who has always been a big reader. He has no phone or social media, but his pleasure reading is way down because school is so much more demanding. After all the homework, he's tired and prefers podcasts or watching sports. When he has less work, the reading picks back up. The parents of my students often say how much their kids used to read but don't anymore; they blame the phones, but I think, at this very demanding school at least, that it's phones and homework.
