5 year old kids should have enough play time with their peers and develop their social skills, instead of being sat in front of a screen with any kind of content. I feel a parallel between this and people defending short form video saying "but sometimes it's educational!" (it's not).


There's more than enough time in a day for a 5 year old to play with other kids and also spend some time learning.


At that age especially, play with other kids is time spent learning.
