As the world is becoming complex and
specialized, most parents are worried that educating children is a more
difficult task today compared to the past because they spend their time on cell
phone, online games, and social networking Web site. However, in my opinion, I
believe educating children today is not as difficult task as parents think for
two reasons. spending time on online world is good for education and helps
children relieve their stress.
First, children can rather get better quality
of education by spending time on cell phone, onlice games, and social
networking website. This is because there are many opportunities for children
to learn valuable knowledge and indirect experiences through online. They can
search new things and can get better and more knowledge on smartphone
application or Web site. For example, my nephew, Tom, bought a brandnew cell
phone. At first, his parents were really worried that he might not concentrate
on his study because of his new cellphone. However, his grade was skyrocked
after he bought a cellphone. This is because he usually watched online lecture
everyday during exam period through his cellphone. Also, he could easily search
new things he wanted to know and finally he could get an answer. Therefore, it
was so efficient for Tom to study alone.
Second, These children's activities can act as
a tool to relieve their stress coming from their school. Thesedays children
live in this competitve world, so they have loads of work to do. So they often
feel down and stressed out. However, by spending their much time on using
cellphone, online games, and social networking Web site, they can relieve
stress coming from their school work. This is evidenced by a medical study,
conducted by Seoul National University, that can clearly show that activities
like playing games and using cellphones have a good effect on relieving
children's stress and also increasing mental health dramatically. The
researchers divided children into two groups. one group was not allowed to use
cellpone, and the other group was allowed to use it. They found that former
group was more likely to get stressed easily and surprisingly they got a lower
score on tests in school compared to the latter group. This result indicates
that regulating using cellphones have a negative influence on mental health in
children and then consequently lead to a bad performance on their school work.
To
sum up, I believe educating children is not a more difficult task today than it
was in the past because they spend much time on cell phone, online games, and
social networking Web site for two reason: good education and relieving stress.
