> Rich and powerful are all aware of that, so they deliberately put their own kids into private schools where screen exposure is more limited.

I bet both of these go the other way:

* While some rich and powerful people are anti-screen, I expect it's more common for them to want their kids using computers in school so they're better prepared.

* Private schools are more likely to have laptops and other tech, because they can afford it. While you get the occasional story about a fancy school that is trying to minimize tech, "poor school has no laptops because they're too expensive" doesn't make the news.
