Sparking Conversation

Classroom to Courtroom: Putting Screen Time on Trial

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation between Dr. Kletenik and Emily Cherkin—educator, author, speaker, and leading voice on children and technology.

Cherkin, the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against ed-tech giant PowerSchool, shares the story behind her case and the experiences that sparked her advocacy around screen use in schools. Together, she and Dr. Kletenik explore how her work as both a teacher and a parent has shaped her perspective on educational technology.

They also dive into her book, The Screentime Solution—a practical, judgment-free guide to raising tech-intentional families—as well as a preview of her upcoming work focused on the evolving role of technology in education.

This is an honest, nuanced conversation for anyone navigating the intersection of children, learning, and screens.
