Miguel Guhlin points to this article arguing that "despite the blossoming body of evidence suggesting technology in schools might actually hinder learning, Australian education has been fooled by the vacuous claims of tech companies and relinquished control of our classrooms to those who care only about lining their own pockets."

We could probably replace the first part with learning technology. But the second is a lot harder to support without schools, as we learned during the pandemic.
