As of 2026, more than half of all U.S. states require K-12 schools to address media literacy, A.I., or devices, and legislation keeps outrunning schools’ readiness to meet it well. At the heart of nearly every requirement is an assumption that writing and enforcing rules is enough, but a mandate can require that a topic be covered without ensuring it is covered well. This white paper explores implications of these requirements on student experience, learning, well-being, and ultimately their futures.
