Question

Read the excerpt.

This new digital world we live in is putting screens in front of students’ eyes more than ever before, and it’s bad. A new study shows that too much screen time limits children’s language skills, and no wonder! They have to talk to other children to develop those skills, rather than staring at a screen all day. It’s time to slash screen time, especially in the classroom. Teachers should spend more time fostering social interactions between students. And parents could step up, too, and yank those screens out of their kids’ hands!

Which biased reason does the author give for presenting the information?

The author wants schools to focus on social interaction rather than screen time.
The author wants parents to take over control of their children’s education.
The author wants to improve children’s social skills.
The author wants schools to change their curricula.
