Research shows that kids should be allowed to bring electronics to school. The electronics help the student stay organized ,and also be able to be able to simply learn something by a tap on a search browser(ex. Google,Firefox,Bing,etc…).

    Technology should no longer be used in the classroom, it supplies students with unlimited distractions and turns a learning environment into a playing field. Teachers are giving students the opportunity to use a computer or tablet at school may seem like an advantage to some, but it does the opposite of help students learn.
