Why are kids spending their school days on screens?
Take Action
Do NOT sign the new Google Parental Consent form provided by the district, which allows Google to harvest student data and sell it to undisclosed third parties. Withholding consent is your right, and reduces the chance your child will waste class time watching YouTube.
Do NOT consent to Google EdTech
Creating a local Schools Beyond Screens chapter can spark important conversations and policy changes on your campus.
Create an SBS chapter at your school
Numerous studies have shown the benefits of learning on paper vs. on screens, and yet LAUSD continues to waste millions on new EdTech products with no accountability.

About us
We’re a grassroots coalition of parents & teachers throughout the LA area, resisting the influence of Big Tech in our public schools.
We're not anti-technology, but the research is clear: excessive screen time is detrimental to learning, exposes kids to inappropriate content, encourages digital distraction & addiction, and infringes on privacy rights.
It's time for LAUSD to listen to the experts and develop a more intentional, science-backed approach to classroom technology.
