Are tech and stress to blame for our kids’ declining writing standards?

This is a fine proposition. But, it actually calls for a structural change to the way schools are funded and the way they organise their teachers. One-on-one personalised feedback takes time; time that does not exist in schools in the current context. Perhaps bureaucracies should focus on the bloat which soaks up much needed funds which could be directed to schools to use to reduce teacher contact time, increase collaborative planning and focused feedback to students.
