This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsu Politics, where we take a different approach to the news. Thank you so much for joining us today. We are so happy to welcome back New York Times reporter

Jessica Gross to talk to us about the impact of technology in schools. Big subject in my household,

Sarah and I believe in yours too. And she is going to talk about the implications of

that tech in schools for our anxious generation of kids as they are

frequently described. Yes, that's also a topic where I live.

Everywhere I go, the parents are a twitter about the anxiety and the tech

and the phones and the social media,

and should we be following new guidelines about that.

And then outside of politics, we're just going to try to get to the really pragmatic issues

in our households as well and talk about cups.

Cups on counters, Beth.

Cups everywhere.

Cups on all the counters.

Cups on counters.

Cups on side tables.

Cups on the floor.

Cups on stair rails, cups on beds.

cups, cups, cups, everywhere cups.

I feel in the selection of the topic of tech in schools influenced by Alexis to Tocqueville's

Democracy in America, Sarah, because there is a distinctive critique of Americans in this book that

we are so busy doing, doing, and chasing progress. We too rarely step back to think,

is this what we want?
