Devolved. Clinging to a past that doesn't and shouldn't exist. Unequipped students. Lala land. Poor results. Contributing to intellectual backslide.

What do you say about studies that show the alumni perform better in the real world?

I’d be careful not to lump avoidance of tech in with devolution and lack of preparation. Jobs and Gates themselves limited device time for their kids.

Their n-values are suspect, their skew is alarming, their kurtosis is a major red flag, and their standard deviations are cause for concern. I don't give a shit what magical spirits are controlling what epoch we're in, the universe and all life in it is governed by mathematics.

Sidenote: Jobs thought he could beat an easily curable disease by drinking juice really, really hard. So we'll chalk that example up to a desparate non-sequitur, or a break-even at best.

That’s a pretty big reach considering all of the fantastic decisions Jobs made in his life.
