States move to limit classroom screen time

Several U.S. states have passed laws in 2024 to restrict screen time for students in early education, with Iowa capping digital instruction at 60 minutes daily for K-5 students and Utah, Tennessee, and Alabama implementing similar regulations. Missouri and Oklahoma proposals failed despite initial legislative support, while the Los Angeles Unified School District introduced grade-specific screen time limits. A high school student emphasized the importance of teaching screen time management rather than restricting access.
