Results of the survey of May 24, 2026

--------------------------------------

Sixteen states are now drafting laws that target not the phone in the pocket but the Chromebook on the desk. A proposed Kentucky bill would cap total daily classroom screen time at 30 minutes for K-1, an hour for grades 2-4, 90 minutes for 5-8, and two hours for 9-12. Do you agree with the concept of mandating a limit on total daily student screen time?

 Yes----------------71.4%

 No-----------------28.6%

The students have more time to use their brains to think about the questions or read

Yes, it is crazy that teachers allow students to use devices for such a long time. We need to go back to paper and pen.

Although it will be difficult to coordinate at the secondary level, screen time should be limited during the school day.

Teachers can be given timelines. They know their class and should determine w curriculum what is best. Need to be flexible as some lessons may need to be longer or shorter depending on student grasping of concepts, and each class is different to meet their needs

Less screen time and more interactive time

I see the negative impact that children's time on devices is having on their ability to communicate effectively with peers, especially in social situations. A good balance of time on the laptop and interactive learning is recommended.

Teachers use technology throughout the curriculum; individual classes may not be able to conform to general statements about the timing. Better to give a range of appropriate screening across general levels. Teachers can then use technology effectively.

I would propose even less time

New Partnership

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
