"Parroting video phrases and telling me they are bored within seconds of downtime. The kids don’t know what to do with themselves without an iPad." "The ones who are bored every recess and won't touch any of the playground equipment gear — just complain the whole time that they're bored. Also, the ones who super struggle to engage in quiet, independent activity that does not involve a screen."
