U.S. schools are moving away from computer screens, tablets, and iPad’s after much success in other countries.
Teachers report better focus, memory, and classroom engagement with this shift. Students are thriving with simpler, more traditional learning methods.

Mr. Stan and Mrs. Randi just over here wondering how all those daily stomach aches, hurt for no reason, paper cuts, stomach cramps, boo boos, and invisible scrapes are doing this summer without us. We can't wait to have our little patients back at school, I mean students. Happy summer to all of you.

Childhood is a journey not a race! We are creating stressed out littles who then become stressed out teens and later stressed out adults! Academics is only a small part of growing up. Developmental needs are equally important! Let’s let them be children a little bit longer.

What makes a school feel like home?
It's more than the classrooms and the curriculum. It's the friendships that encourage us, the teachers who know us, the parents who unconditionally love, and the community that reminds us that student matters. Every day, our students build friendships, grow in faith, and encourage one another as they discover the unique gifts God has given them. Together, they learn what it means to lead with kindness, serve with compassion, and become the person God created them to be. This is what makes LSCA such a special place!

The world spent years pushing screens into classrooms.

Tablets replaced textbooks. Digital assignments replaced handwritten notes. Schools were told that the future of education was sitting behind a screen.

Now some European countries are starting to reverse course.

Sweden, Finland, Norway, France, Italy, and Denmark are all moving away from heavy classroom digitalization and bringing back something many schools thought was disappearing: printed books, handwriting, and traditional reading.

And this shift is not happening because of nostalgia.

It is happening because researchers have found that writing by hand and reading physical books can improve memory, concentration, and understanding compared with relying only on digital devices.

Sweden was one of the first countries to change direction. In 2023, its Ministry of Schools paused the push for mandatory tablet use and redirected hundreds of millions of kronor toward printed textbooks.

Then other countries followed.

Denmark committed 540 million kroner to replace tablets with books, sending thousands of new printed copies into classrooms and moving toward a plan to make schools completely mobile-free by 2027.

France and Italy have already taken steps to limit smartphone use in primary and middle schools, bringing back paper planners and more traditional pencil-and-paper activities.

And in Scandinavia, the change has been widespread.

Norway reports that most primary schools have removed mobile devices from learning spaces, while Finland introduced similar restrictions in 2024.

For years, the assumption was that more technology would automatically create better education.

Now some of Europe’s most advanced education systems are asking a different question:

What if the best tool for learning was something students have used for centuries?

A book. A pencil. And the ability to focus.

School should be a place where your child feels confident, encouraged, and known. At LSCA, teachers meet students where they are academically and help them grow from there. Our students discover joy in learning and friendships that last.
