It's nothing but clickbait on any topic they can grab, and since genAI hallucinates, none of the information there can be trusted to be accurate.
PLEASE don't give this AI slop any attention.
THIS is the Free Press article they ripped off:
https://www.thefp.com/p/we-gave-students-laptops-and-took
The article is paywalled, but I found a link that worked on LinkedIn. This is from the article, which is mostly an excerpt from neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath's new book:
This has consequences. The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is the world’s largest standardized test. Every three years, hundreds of thousands of 15-year-old students across dozens of countries complete the exam, which assesses knowledge across math, reading, and science.
In 2012, 2015, and 2018, PISA asked students how much time they spent using digital devices during a typical school day. When those answers were compared with test scores, the results told a clear and troubling story.
The more time students spent on screens at school, the further their scores fell. On average, those who used computers for more than six hours per day scored 65 points lower than their peers who didn’t use them at all. That’s the difference between the 50th and the 24th percentile—equivalent to a two letter-grade drop.
And this wasn’t just a developing world issue. Among wealthy Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, the average drop was even steeper: 67 points.
I have no idea whether the video you posted has that info, or whether it represented it correctly or scrambled it the way genAI always can.
But because that YouTube channel has to be using AI to create the videos, anything in them can be an AI hallucination, and they can't be trusted.
