Laptops vs. Books

Written by: Arelis Ortega

DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL? Are you tired of having all those books in your book bag?
Yeah, don't worry I was in your place before and that's why I think ...WE SHOULD USE LAPTOPS INSTEAD OF BOOKS! Imagine how kids would feel about school, if they all had laptops. Imagine the desk, clean inside because kids always stuff their books in the school desk! There is barely any space in our desks. Laptops are better, because if you have homework and you don't understand you can go to google and, BOOM! There is your answer, no sweat! Another reason why laptops are better than books is because kids will love going to school if they all have laptops. Lastly, laptops will help prepare students for the future.

Having a laptop is better, because when you are doing your classwork you just go to google in your laptop and there is your answer. In real life, you have to wait and wait and raise your hand and the teacher doesn't look at you or you raise your hand and when the teacher does look at you the mini-lesson is over. Don't worry this also happened in my classroom and my teacher saw the kid who was raising their hand, but I had my hand up too. I was hoping she would pick me, but she picked another girl. I was fine with it, until I had to write this paper. We need answers right away, we need laptops.

Even I think laptops are better, because let me explain "we live in a world where technology matters. For example, Mrs. Jenkins said "when kids graduate and apply for a job they are going to ask you do you know how to to type? Do you know how to use a computer? What computer programs do you know how to use? If we do not have more laptops at schools we are not preparing our students for the FUTURE!" We need more laptops for this school. These are my reason why I believe we need laptops instead of books. Please remember, my first reason we should use laptops instead of books is that we will prepare our students for the future. The second is that if a teacher is not looking at you when you raise your hand, snap, don't worry we have laptops to find our answers. Last, but not least is that kids are bored. We need to help kids not be bored at school. Please remember these reasons, they mean a lot to me, because it will help kids learn in a fun way. Thank you.
