I hear you, but not all “reading time” is equal.

That would be a great exception, but very much not the norm. Most kids are not reading long-form books or fiction on their phones.

Also, all reading time in the school library won’t be equal. If the school insists on only certain reading time being valid they ought to just force kids to read a specific set of books. (My personal preference would be for fundamentally less coercive education.)

Sure. But I can pretty much guarantee the likelihood of finding worthwhile reading material in the school library is significantly higher than the likelihood of finding it on TikTok or X.
