Why an "extreme" amount of freedom?

> There is no way to be done away with tech on school, but some balance and freedom must be achieved.

Yes there is. Students were educated just a couple decades ago without it. We can easily return to that style.

As dangerous as this sounds, with guidance, I think it could be done. Government and public institutions love to lock the environment into something safe but useless for further learning and adaptability

I don't know that it sounds dangerous.

I am wondering what you mean by it and why you think it's needed.
