Headphones in School

I am all for allowing music in class. I believe this for three reasons. Music can help some people concentrate, it is entertaining, and it calms people down.

The first reason why I believe music should be allowed in class is it helps some people concentrate. For example, a lot of my friends and I focus a lot better on something while listening to music. It also helps me concentrate by taking the nerve off.

Next, I believe that music will entertain us in class when class gets boring. When your teacher gives you the assignment to do and he or she wants it done by the end of class its usually boring, so I feel it is more entertaining to do my school work while I listen to music.

Finally, my last reason I have is music can be calming. My sophomore year my welding teacher allowed us to listen to our music while we welded because it helped relieve the stress of it. You’re not as worried about making a mistake because you’re listening to something you enjoy.

I am open for compromise. For example, I’d be okay with allowing only one head phone in with the volume at a level that only you can hear it. I would be just fine with not allowing music in gym class for people wouldn’t get involved in activity because they don’t want their music broken.

In conclusion I am all for allowing music in class for it can help some people concentrate, it will make class more entertaining, and it can be calming. As I stated I am open for compromise. These are the reasons why I believe that music should be allowed in class.

i agree with you in a way i would love to be able to listen to music in class but yet again i would be afraid that i would not pay attention to the teacher because when i listen to music i like to listen to it not just hear it i listen to the words and i pay attention to the music.

To bad this probably wont happen while we are in school. But it's nice to have dreams.
