Advocates of digitalization in schools are remarkably eloquent in their assurances that digitalization is about teaching children
how to use devices "sensibly", "responsibly" and "competently".
Neurobiologist Prof. Dr. Teuchert-Noodt explains:
"The "Digital Pact" will go down in history as a "digital impossibility pact" (...) The child's brain cannot do digital.
Only students can manage to handle media "responsibly" if they have previously completed an analog school degree.
Ms. Teuchert-Noodt continues:
"Typing and swiping prevents any learning.
Arithmetic, reading and writing remain basic skills that have to be inscribed in real nerve networks.
In addition, the use of digital devices at school and at home is generally extremely addictive for children and young people."
Young people with smartphones and computers are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain a driver's license.
Their brains are inadequately prepared for the complex space-time processing involved in road traffic.
Ms. Teuchert-Noodt sums up:
"Our politicians would be well advised to immediately refrain from digitally upgrading schools.
Stop wasting billions on technical devices for the IT industry and making an entire growing generation of children ill."
Help spread these facts and encourage others to think about the vigorously promoted digitalization in schools.
