Should Schools Have Charging Stations in the Classroom?

Do you keep forgetting to charge your computer at home? Many students would enjoy having charging stations at school, However many teachers would not. There are many pros and cons to having computer chargers in the classroom environment. Who's side of this topic should schools support?

There are many pros to having computer chargers in the classroom environment. If there were chargers in the classroom environment then every student would have a charged computer. Also if there were chargers in a classroom environment students would not be required to charge their computers at home. Another reason having computer chargers in the classroom would be a good thing is that the school would have no need to give chargers out to students and then the school would not have to worry about students losing or breaking chargers as much.

However, There are also many cons to having computer chargers in the classroom environment. If there were chargers in the classroom environment then most students would be taking advantage of it and there would be so many chargers that people could trip over the chargers and get hurt. Also the amount of electricity it would take during the school day to charge everyone's computers would be immense and could cause electrical fires, power outages and massive electrical bills. Also it could make teachers only sit at their desks, for it would be hard to get across the classroom to help a student or teach face to face.

In my opinion, I think having chargers in the classroom would be a great idea. I am somebody who forgets to charge their computer at night and it would be very nice to see the school make some changes for those types of students. Also, since schools are very tech run, it would be a good change in my opinion as the world goes into technology more and more. I think that schools will eventually do this because schools will start to see students' grades drop just because they don't have a charged computer for the school day.

All in all, there are many pros and cons to having chargers and charging stations in classrooms. Many students would be happy with this change, although many teachers would not be happy with this change. Charging stations would be a very unique addition to the classroom environment, however, is this addition worth the effort?

 

Do you think having charging stations should be placed into classrooms?

 

 

Would you use a charging station if they were in the classroom?

 

 

How would this new addition help you?

    • I agree, I forget to plug in my computer a lot.

  • I think that charging station's should be put in the classroom's so the people can charge there computer if they forgot to charge there computer. I think that the students would abuss them and forget to charge there computer just so they can plug there computers in.

    • I totally agree, the charging situation in classes now is not very good.

  • I think that Charging stations should be in classrooms. Many students have to go to the other side of the room just to charge their computers. I have to charge my computer in school every so often so it would help.

    • I totally agree, I have to charge my computer in class a lot because I forget to do it at home.

  • I think having a lot of charging stations is nice so you don't have to move to the other side of the room, but I don't think there needs to be that many charging stations. There only needs to be a couple of outlets, because not everyone usually has to charge their computer at once, it's mostly just a couple of people everyday.

    • I agree with your opinion, butn most people would use them if we had them because then people wouldn't charge their computers at home.

  • I don’t think that having charging stations in every classroom is at all necessary. If you are someone who “forgets” to plug in their computer every night before school that is simply not the teacher’s problem. If you think about it you don’t have to plug it in every night. If you forget set a goal to do it every other night so that it is easier to remember. I do see that having somewhere to plug in your computer in the classroom is helpful but shouldn’t have to be used every day. It is essential to take responsibility and plug in your computer so that the teacher doesn’t have to deal with possibly tripping over your charger in the middle of class.

  • Yes, I think that classrooms should have charging stations.  If I plug my computer in at night it does not have enough power to make it through the day. I charge it in the first hour of class every day. I think that it would be good for the students to have a place to charge their computers at school

  • I think that classes should have charging stations. Most students forget to charge their computer at their house so when they get to school their computer is dead. I think that there should be a number of times you can use the charging station a week so then it could maybe help kids to charge their computers and not forget.
