Question

Case Study: A school district conducts a study and finds that students who spend more than 5 hours a day on screens (including phones, computers, and TVs) have lower average grades than students who spend less time on screens. The school concludes that excessive screen time directly leads to lower academic performance.

Which of the following is the most appropriate critique of the school’s conclusion?

Options

The school’s conclusion is valid because there is a direct link between screen time and academic performance.

The school is ignoring the possibility that other factors, such as study habits, social interactions, and sleep, might be affecting both screen time and academic performance.

The school should encourage more screen time to improve grades, based on the correlation.

The school’s conclusion is correct, and screen time is the only factor influencing academic performance.
