No, but I haven’t been actively looking either. Everything in our country seems to be on fire, and I don’t have the energy.

That’s a good question. It might be different, but I’m not sure. I’ll see if I can find any research specifically about ebooks.

We have kids take these tests on a computer. Our brains are not wired to read deeply on computers; our brains skim when reading on screens.

1. Less screen time is needed for kids.
2. These tests need to be paper and pencil.
3. Kids need to read full printed books, not only excerpts.

It’s all ridiculous. ICE showing up or the Secret Service. It’s still alarming either way.

My senators are Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith. They are “no” votes for sure.
