They looked at the data. “In fact, we could not find a lot of data to support the parents,” Doss said. Parents did spend more time with

52、 their kids. But the study didnt find that they were less stressed.The experts also discovered a problem. “We found that kids probably learned a little less every year,” Doss said. “That can add up to a lot less.” So the question is while the change is welcomed, is it worth having kids learn less?Ma
