When the entire class sets of books being run on the combustion, and the pupils go to school without a single book in your bag, this is the digital enthusiasm in school gone too far.

She considers that the development has gone too far, when some schools have so-called portalundervisning with, for example, e-books and digital learning tools in 85 percent of school hours.

- We can now make measurements on the children's reading. And if it all takes place on a screen, so does their desire to read, and it won't do, because there are still too many children who end up leaving primary school without being able to read and count adequately, says Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil.
