Student classroom screen time would be cut way back under a proposal expected to win approval Tuesday from the Los Angeles Board of Education, a remarkable reversal of years-long initiatives to equip students with computers and internet access — and a move that comes amid growing parental pushback on devices.The resolution asks teachers to “encourage the use of paper and pen assignments” and also contemplates banning student access to YouTube as well as the gaming platforms Roblox and “Fortnite.”Under the board motion, students would be kept away entirely from screens until the second grade, and after that, screen time would…

Islamabad United arrive on the back of four wins from their last five games, a settled batting core, and the most dangerous spin-bowling all-rounder in the tournament running things. Rawalpindi have lost five games in a row.

Chelsea will hope to bring an end to their recent dismal run of form when they visit Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday night.  The Blues have won just one of their last eight matches in the Premier League, and have lost their last four games in the competition without scoring a single goal. Last time out Liam Rosenior’s side were beaten 1-0 by Manchester United, which could prove to be a damaging result in the race to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Ortega had maintained a measured tone on Mr. Trump following the start of the war on Feb. 28, when the U.S. and Israeli launched strikes on Iran.”The war being waged in the way the current U.S. president is waging it is typical…

Ad Policy (Daniel Heuer / Bloomberg via Getty Images) Normally, SWAT teams rely on specialized “breaching equipment” to break down the doors in an emergency where criminals are hunkered down in a heavily fortified bunker. But last year, FBI agents reportedly almost used breaching equipment not to capture a dangerous lawbreaker but to try to wake up their boss, Kash Patel.
