Australian Governments are going to disadvantage Australian kids in future job markets because too many ignorant parent spend too much time on Facebook reading bullshit about how kids don’t go outside enough these days.

As someone who is learning to be a teacher, I've found technology to be a bit of a distraction for some kids, but it can also work really well. I think there needs to be a balance. Also, if they limit screen time in primary schools, why don't they limit it to 90 minutes in workplaces too?

Yeah there definitely needs to be a balance, an arbitrary limit is just stupid
