Should ipods be allowed in school debate




















If you have them in your school you can automatically deny any games or websites that they should not be on. You are not being disrespectful. Most schools dont have a computer of some sort so the kids have to write those papers. Yet if you add ipods to the school it cuts back on paper and other materials that are needed for school such a pencils, and ink.

Think do you really want ipods in school. They should be allowed because it used for educational related tasks like, using the calculator or searching up information or taking notes when you forget your notebook or pencil.

But I also think that teachers should limit the use of it, like during lessons and only to use during work time. Students will hide the iPod on a test, so why take the chance of having to have a student retake the test.

Cellphones also used as calculators and if you can get internet access, you could search something small and quick up. Other electronic devices like laptops can be used for research for note taking etc. We are living in the twenty first century, people have to recognize that we are getting more into technology and getting rid of paper and pencil. Using technology in class is definitely a yes. Yes students will be off task sometimes but they will still get there work done.

Over all I think that electronic devices should be allowed in schools for educational reasons. Point being, we learn more from searching and studying that we do from google doing our work for us. In the end, it comes down to the fact that cheating is easier, much more accessible, being distracted, playing games is right at the finger tips of the students. Then it comes down to money. If you want to eliminate paper and such and have all documents on a laptop or another sort of hand-held device tablet, mp3 player, phone then schools could eliminate books, worksheets etcetera.

But this means every student needs to have the same device, so that the teacher can provide documents in the same file format. This also means that every parent or school district needs to dish out so much money for very student to have said electronic device. Overall its expensive, allow for kids to cheat, get distracted and learn in less effective way. The idea of it sounds nice, but its not as good as the first glance. This class has maybe twenty-five students. The odds that you are able to separate all the students that may possibly be talkative or disruptive is minuscule, but if you allow these students to use an iPod at a low volume they will likely just listen contently.

I have personally seen students get away with it for the simple reason that they draw no attention with their head down listening quietly to their preferred music.

Cell phones should not be allowed in schools because if the students get bored, they might use them to play games or do other activities that distract their attention from learning. In case of family emergency, the teachers have a cell phone and the parents could call them. Sometimes teachers, parents or students are part of the problem. Then obsessive, paranoid parents who want teachers to hop at their command, and students who think a teacher is their friend and should be updated on and invited to their every social venture.

Everyone involved in the fight was tagged, including the boy who was beaten up. This trend is more common for those teens whose parents are under 40 and low in educational attainment.

A number of violent attacks on schoolchildren have been filmed on mobile phones equipped with video cameras. In one of the most serious incidents a teenager was shot in the leg by two teenagers who photographed her injuries with a mobile phone.

Kerry Deville, 17, had surgery to remove the pellet at Leeds General Infirmary after the incident in Wortley. Kids will be raped, bullied and harassed with or without cell phones. Many students, like biased media hubs are interested in shocking, horrifying and getting the attention of a mass audience via cheap thrills.

A camera phone is the perfect mechanism by which young people aim to derive their 60 minutes of fame. Origin: Happy slapping … began as a youth craze in the UK in late Children or passers by are slapped or otherwise mugged by one or more of a gang while others record the event on video and then distribute it by phone or Internet. Initially the attacks were, as the phrase would have us believe, fairly minor pranks … As the craze spread the attacks became more vicious — often serious assaults known in legal circles as grievous bodily harm.

United Kingdom, 18 June Police arrested three year-old boys for the suspected rape of an year-old girl who attended their school in Stoke Newington, London. Barry Lee, 20, and another year-old were cleared of all charges. Two plain clothes police officers saw the incident, and the assailants were immediately arrested and the mobile phone confiscated. The killing was filmed and distributed online. Australia, 23 October Police in Victoria launched an investigation into the contents of a DVD at the centre of the Melbourne teenage DVD controversy which contained footage of several teenagers sexually assaulting a girl and setting her hair on fire.

United Kingdom, 14 February Eight youths set upon a 31 year-old man in Brighton, who turned out to be an amateur boxer.

From fights over a girl at the gate, underage sex, rape, teen pregnancies to Latrine humiliations, none of this is new. All of these things have been reported in books, journals, articles, movies and T. V programs dated from before everyone over 13 had a cell phone. To blame cellphones for this , is rubbish. It is the least effective and most ignorant way to handle this.

But realistically the only serious emergencies that are happening at school are forgetting your gym clothes or lunch one day. I think cellphones are a bad idea to bring to school because there is a probability that your phone might get lost, and you are going to have to tell your parents that you lost the phone. They would get really mad at you. The other bad thing about bringing your cellphone to school is that someone might steal it and not give it back to you.

They also might call random people and talk to them. If your cell phone has an annoying ring tone it might ring in class and the teacher might take it and not give it back to you. There are so many things that can go wrong so i think that cellphones should not be allowed in school. If there is an emergency then you can use the office phone or use your friends.

Even non smart phones can be used to text answers. I think phones should be aloud bc they are used for many ways to learn and help us at school all tho they can be a distraction they can be very helpful to use learning apps or for emergencies. I think that phones should be allowed in school for emergencies, better to have and not need than to need and not have. But if you use cell phone in class, why even bother coming to school to just use your phone at home?

And how do you know if it will make class better? No money to pay for a laptop and the library closes at 10pm every night! Have money in my checking account wired to me. Now living paycheck to paycheck cause I had no cell phone or good quality laptop in college. Now made fun of …. We just work harder and get paid less than what we are truly deserved, because we respect our elders.

I think it should be allowed only for High School students, as they have jobs and other important things. They might also have plans that are written on their phone that they need to check before making more, and so forth.

Theyre just a distraction to be honest. There are teachers to clear your concept and none of them mind in repeating it a thousand times to clear your concept. However, I think Amnah is just trying to say how she feels. Another thing is that searching for an answer for ur question helps u understand it more than receiving a direct answer.

Also it will help students just to carry their devices that has their ebooks and never carry all their books that weigh more than 8kg every day that will cause for them back problems. This is written by a student in 8th grade in a school where electronic devices are not allowed. I think that phones should be allowed at school because students could just put them in their booksacks during class and if they need to call their parents if their sick or they need something they can.

School rules focus on minimize distraction to every class member, including the most talkative ones. So imagine every class member participated to the teacher but the student with their Ipod participated on their favorite music. And then there is test. Maybe in class the student did take notes and listens well. But think about it. There are many ways to cheat when you have an Ipod.

Believe me, that would be a very common way to cheat if schools allow electronic devices. And then e ven the teacher checks the songs, when the record is done they could change the name into name of songs. A way to discourage students from trying their luck is to threaten to confiscate phones for a long period of time. Students will hopefully think about the huge consequences and allow their teachers to hold onto their cell phone during the test period.
