im in elementary and its four hours of computers on average but we have two-three recesses now. my class is a lot different because i try my best to stay away from the tech. in middle school and high school its usually in class all on computers and when they are away from them its all on phones. they are usually 8 hours a day on a device after elementary school. if education is going to improve the tech has to stay outside of schools.
