I absolutely believe that there should be physical elements to a child's
development, and that the world holds a lot to experience, and I get that
touching a cow is going to leave more of a lasting impact on a child than
being forced to learn what an adjective is, I just don't know a better way to
teach an adjective than rote memorization or a screen.

depends on what is defined by a screen. For example, you can imagine that kids
in school will be able to fully immerse themselves into education scenarios
(like being on a farm) through virtual or augmented tech. Smells and feel will
also be simulated. From an education perspective will it be much different.
Depends on how good AR/VR get... but also think of all the possibilities that
kids and students will get that they couldn't in the real world e.g. as quoted
in the article... kids will be able to go on virtual field trips, as well as
traveling back in time for history lessons or meeting Albert Einstein
