Every day you can see students listening to music during class. Sometimes a teacher will ask them to take out their earbuds or take off their headphones. As a result of this, some students are annoyed by the fact that they can’t listen to music during class. So the question is… Should students be allowed to listen to music during class? Or should teachers continue to make the students take them out?
Many teachers can argue that students should not have their earbuds in. Many believe that they simply do not listen to the teachers and just care about their music. Sometimes during class, teachers let their students listen to music during work time. According to healthline.com, students are less stressed and are more focused while listening to music in the background of working. This may be a reason why teachers allow their students to listen during work time. But why do teachers not allow music during normal class time? This could be because they believe that students cannot hear the teacher as well while music is playing in the background. But is this belief true?
Many students think that they should be allowed to have earbuds in during class. Many students believe that they are more relaxed with music during class. Oftentimes when students have earbuds in, they can still hear the teacher talking during class. When students arrive at school, most are not excited. Many can argue that school is not a very exciting time/place. Most students believe that listening to music during class has many benefits. According to fnu, listening to music reduces anxiety. And to many studies, school can cause lots of stress and anxiety. Meaning that music can make students feel at ease while at school.
As a student, I can say that music helps students during school 100% of the time. As I speak for most, it makes us feel relaxed, at ease, happy, ect. So why do teachers want to take that away from us? Yes, they may feel that we are not listening, however, instead of yelling in front of the class, just quietly ask us to turn it down. I can understand if a student has music blasting and it is disrupting the class. However, if a student can hear the teacher, and the music is not distracting, why tell us to take our earbud out?
After many studies, I can conclude that there are both good and bad effects to listening to music during class. I believe that students should be allowed to listen to music during class. Unless there is a test, or students are being disruptive, all students should be allowed to listen to music during class.

I do not think we should be able to listen to music in class only in study hall. I think that way to many students could get distracted by music playing. I think that students who pay attention would be okay listening to music but not the students who do not pay attention.
I can see your POV, however, how does the teacher know what students are paying attention or not? Because grades may not always show. How do you feel about students listening to music while doing an assignment in class?
I don't think we should be able to listen too much while the teacher is giving instructions, because how else are we going to understand how to do things? I feel like music can be calming especially if it's music you like. I like listening to music when I'm working because it motivates me, so I get my work done faster.
I agree, when I am doing any type of work, class time/homework, I focus more and I don't feel as bored. The difficult question to answer is if students should be allowed to listen during class. I can see your view of this but I think that most students will know to keep the volume down.
I don't think that students should be able to listen to music in class because then they wont be able to pay attention during class. I think that the only time that studn=ents should be able to listen to music is during worktime or a study hall.
I can see your POV. However, I believe that many of us high schoolers are responsible enough to listen to music during class quietly and still manage to listen to instructions. Or, students should just pause their music while the teachers and teaching and then unpause it while working on an assignment.
I think we should be allowed to listen to music. Some people's music helps them focus. other times it can also help you get more work done. I think that music helps many people for many different ways
I agree, music is a great way for students to focus more and concentrate. I believe that music would be very beneficial to the learning of students. Music is a great way to soothe your brain too.
I think a lot of people focus better and work harder when listening to music but some also get distracted and cant work at all, it just depends on the person. I think after the lesson is being taught that kids should be able to listen to music but if they arent getting their work done and getting behind or struggling they cant listen to music.
I agree, I think that all students should start out with the privilage to listen to music. When/If students do not do well with the music, then the teacher can just take that away from them. Then, the student will have to earn that privilage back.
