Parents have many worries about their children’s education; the type of teachers, the classes they want to take, and the cost of the education are just some of them. Another big worry that can lead to a controversial debate is the use of computers in middle school and high school.
People for computers and people against computers both have good arguments on their respective viewpoint. I believe it is essential for computers to be introduced as soon as possible. The world today is full of technology; cell phones, computers, and many other tools that your children will all use in the future. Computers in school would teach your child about technology at an early age so they’re not left behind when they are looking for jobs at an older age. The high-tech world demands prospective employees to be knowledgeable about computers, so why not teach them at a young age, when learning is easiest?
Computers also improve both teaching and student achievement. Computers make it easier to teach, which in turn, makes it easier to learn. Computers also make it more of a “private” education. Children with computers can control the speed at which they learn by themselves if they are interested in expanding their learning. Making education more private for certain individuals will cause an increase in one’s imagination and creativity.
Computers are a necessity in order for education to make bigger strides towards teaching your children everything they need to know for the future.
