unfortunately there should be "screen time concerns"
I have spent time in public schools this year. Mostly in TK-2nd grades.
Many teachers are no longer reading books with children - they put a video of somebody else reading the book on the tv and go and do other things - including scroll their phones.
"Quiet time" for 4-6 year olds = watching a video. I used to read "chapter books" at the start of "quiet time" One year our Ks listened to us read an edited version of the Hobbit
Music teacher? In a room full of instruments and music & movement materials. It's videos. They don't experience music: they watch somebody else experience it
School Psych - (lessons on cooperation, and regulating emotions, getting along with others etc...) If there was a related book to their objective - it's read by somebody on YT
STEAM teacher? again a video of someone else reading the book, instead of being there to answer questions or help explain new concepts teachers are off doing something else.
