Delay Smartphones Delay Social Media Phone Free Schools Independence And Play Ed Tech

At WC Unplugged, we’re working to raise kids well in a digital age. We believe face-to-face interaction is a cornerstone of mental health, that free play and childhood independence are critical for healthy kids, and that parents should be the architects of family culture, not big tech. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month and rotate between virtual meetings at noon and in-person meetings at 7:00. Google Meet info will be shared with attendees the week of the meeting.

Paper Tests for PA Kids

As of 2026, Pennsylvania requires every PSSA and Keystone exam to be taken on a computer. That means children as young as 8 take their tests on a device, before they've even learned how to type. Unfortunately, state testing seems to influence what happens in classrooms all year, and we've all seen it: screen-based testing means more screen time during the school day. New York made the same switch and is already reconsidering. Pennsylvania should too. Add your name to ask the state to bring back a paper option for the PSSAs.
