These days, it is obvious that there are computers for students in most schools, and students use them efficiently for studying and class. However, they also use computers in inappropriate ways such as playing violent games or chatting with others. In my opinion, I strongly believe that a school should invest in purchasing books for the library rather than computers. By setting computers, students tend to use them in an entertaining way rather than in studying, and as a result, it would be hard for them to focus on studying.
First of all, students are more interested in playing games than watching an educational program like “EBS”. If a school sets up computers for students, they would play games or chat with others every break time. Even during the class, they use the computer for personal things instead of for class. In my experience, I had a computer class in high school. During the computer class, students had to go to a computer lab and were allowed to use a computer. However, during the class, there were few students who really use the computer for the class in appropriate way; most of them used the computer by playing game, chatting with others, searching the internet, and so on. It is hard for students to focus on studying with computer even if there is a teacher who watch students.
On the other hands, books make students get useful information, and by reading a book, students are able to improve their reading skill which is essential for studying. It is true that a person who read many books has better understanding skill and more information. When you see any interviews of students who studies well, they always say “I’ve read a lot of books when I was young” or “I like reading books”. At this point, reading books is an essential factor for students to study well. Therefore, if a school wants its students improve more and study well, the school better offer books rather than computers to students.
Overall, for the above reasons, I strongly think that a school should pour money into books for the library rather than computers. School is a place which makes students get more information and help them learn educationally. A book offers useful information as well as helpful skill such as reading fest and understanding skill while a computer gives students only entertaining time. |
