Sixty-six percent of teens say they use media to listen to music every day. Fifty-eight percent say they watch TV. But less than half say they use social media on a daily basis, and only about one in three say they like social media "a lot." "You would think that that'd be a much higher percentage, given how much time they feel that they're on it," said Steyer. "But the truth is they feel they have to be there because their friends are."

Does school spending matter after all? Taken together, these results highlight how improved access to school resources can profoundly shape the life outcomes of economically disadvantaged children and thereby reduce the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Money alone may not lift educational outcomes to desired levels, but our findings confirm that the provision of adequate funding may be critical. Importantly, we also find that how the money is spent matters. Therefore, to be most effective, spending increases should be coupled with systems that help ensure spending is allocated toward the most productive uses.
