## Resource

Lubbock school districts brace for August 12th kickoff, but educators warn summer learning loss is already a looming challenge—kids’ reading and math skills slip without consistent engagement. Data shows national reading scores dropping, partly due to tech overload since 2012: constant screen time fuels dopamine-driven distraction, weakening retention. Teachers spend weeks reteaching basics. Dr. Natalie Scanlon urges parents to set screen limits and replace them with structured activities like reading or outdoor play to keep minds sharp and students ready for the school year.
