The nation’s second-largest school district imposed strict new limits on screen time for its roughly 400,000 students. The Los Angeles Unified School District policy is the latest example of a growing backlash against technology in classrooms nationwide. William Brangham discussed the new rules and the rationale behind them with Nick Melvoin, a member of the Los Angeles School Board.
