Recent discussions highlight a growing crisis in children’s foundational academic skills—particularly reading and math—with educators and researchers pointing to changes in brain development, technology use, and educational approaches. Brain science offers insights into why these abilities may be declining and how early learning shapes neural pathways. Key factors include reduced attention spans due to smartphone …
