Save School Money NO LAPTOPS!





Laptops at school? Total waste of money. Firstly, it would be way too expensive to supply laptops to every student at Blatchley. Also, with the way that I've seen a lot of kids act, the laptops would most likely be broken almost every week. Lastly, there are plenty of other ways to get to a computer. I say kids don't really need laptops.


Providing laptops to students is a dream much too expensive to make a reality. Firstly, the cost would be way over the school budget. That being, the school would have no money for repair and other needs. Also, the school would likely have to buy new laptops each year causing more budget decrease. Laptops for students would be way too expensive.

Looking at the way a lot of the students here at Blatchley act, I doubt the laptops would stay intact for long. Anything could happen to the laptops. They could get stolen, dropped, have water spilled on them, heck they could be dropped in water. Then you have the parents, who would likely have to pay for damages just like other school property, which would not make them happy. Then the school would have to pay for repairs or even new laptops bringing us right back to the finance thing. Give kids laptops and watch them burn!

Students really don't need laptops because they have plenty of other ways to get to computers. Firstly, the public library has computers just for that reason. Secondly, kids could stay at school and use the computers there. Lastly, plenty of people have computers at home so what's the point of a laptop. Like I said, laptops just aren't needed.

Again, laptops for students is a very bad idea. Number one, repair and upkeep is just way too expensive. Number two, admit it, laptops are just way to fagile for the common middle schooler. Number three, there are plenty of computers out there, why do we need more? Avoid the trouble, keep laptops away from school!
