I disagree on the article “Docs to parents: Limit kids’ texts, tweets, online”. In my opinion, I believe that kids should not be limited and should be able to use their cell phones, electronics, and watch television. In some cases, students might have to use the internet or computer to submit their assignments, or they might need to research information for more than just the two hours that they’re given to finish a digital project and pass it in. This is because in today’s society most of the teachers are relying on the fact that we students can use electronics to an advantage so we don’t waste paper and so the teachers don’t have to carry piles of papers home to grade. For example, in my Journalism class, the way we pass in our work is we post it to our blog that way my teacher can go home with a lighter load of work to correct. Another reason as to why I don’t think electronics should be banned is for communication purposes. If a kid doesn’t have their phone on them and doesn’t come home right after school, their guardian or parent wouldn’t be able to contact them to see if they stayed after to make up a test, or stopped at the store on the way home. This factor also falls under the category of what is something bad happened to the kid and they can’t get in contact with anyone. Some kids I would imagine don’t even use the internet and electronic devices for the mischievous things most parents think they do. They might just need twitter to ask a fellow classmate or student what their homework was that night or maybe they need help on a problem in math. These are all reasons that support my opinion in stating that kids shouldn't be limited to electronic usage.
