Parental Concerns Mount Over Screen Time and Sugar in Schools
London, UK – Influencer Montana Brown has voiced significant concerns regarding the increasing presence of screen time and sugary foods in schools, sparking a broader conversation among parents. In a recent video, Brown articulated her apprehension about her son, Jude, being exposed to technology for homework and the prevalence of unhealthy snacks during school hours. "When I send him to school, I don't want him to be watching a screen at all," Brown stated, advocating for a return to more traditional learning methods and increased outdoor activity. She highlighted that many schools are now incorporating Chromebooks for homework, a practice she believes detracts from essential developmental skills such as handwriting. Furthermore, Brown expressed dismay over schools offering biscuits, "yum-yums," and donuts for break times. "We know that sugar is bad for you, you know it's not good for them to concentrate," she remarked, questioning the rationale behind such dietary choices in an educational setting. Brown emphasized her desire to control her child's exposure to treats, preferring to offer them as special weekend indulgences. Her comments reflect a growing sentiment among parents who seek a more balanced and health-conscious approach to their children's education.
