Bipartisan sponsors call to limit K–5 screen time, end routine 1:1 devices; experts and parents testify Representatives Burns and Terry presented the Hands on Learning Restoration Act (HB 2230 and HB 2978), which would make books, paper and pencil the default for K–5 instruction, restrict daily screen time and end routine 1:1 device issuance; dozens of educators, physicians and parents testified in favor, citing declines in reading scores and concerns about mental health and special‑education substitution.

Missouri representatives are pushing for a bold shift back to traditional classroom tools, aiming to limit screen time and revive handwriting skills to combat declining reading scores.
