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 think having charging places in the classroom is a good idea. I feel that when we aren't using our phones or computers we should be able to charge them. Sometimes we forget and it would be easier having this. I would definitely use a charging station. 

  • I do think that chargers should be in every classroom. Although I do believe that kids need to start being more responsible, and that means charging their computers, everyone makes mistakes and I think that teachers need to understand that and they still make mistakes even today.

  • I think that charging stations should be put into classrooms, or at least one charging cord per classroom. this would reduce the amount of people's computers that are dead. I would probably use the stations, especially if my computer doesn't charge for some reason. 

  • I do believe that there should be charging stations in the classrooms. This would allow for every student to charge their computer, if needed. Students also wouldn't have a reason to not complete their work. I normally charge my computer at home, so these really wouldn't effect me.

  • I think there should be charging stations at school. I don't think every classroom should have charging stations but most should. if every class had charging stations then people would never charge their computers at home.

    • I agree there should definetely be charging stations at school but schools teaching responsibility is also extremely important.

  • I think that there should be charging stations in some classrooms but not all. However, there would most likely be a problem with students simply not charging the computers at home, knowing that they can charge them at school.

    • I totally agree if we had them in all of the classrooms it would be a lot of wiring and it would be hard to keep all of that electricity safe.

      • Also, teachers would most likely get really anoyed of there are a bunch of students sitting out of place charging their computers.

        • I agree with that and I also would say it would annoy teachers to have to walk over to those kids to help them with anything
