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 think that students should be able to listen to music during individual work time. Music can help lots of kids focus, and can give them a break from school while still doing their work. As long as they are doing what they need to be doing, music should not matter. Personally, I work better listening to music than I do without it.
I agree. Music is like an escape from reality. It can really help with stress too. That's why listening to music while working, is a great strategy to get away from school but also be doing assignments and learning at the same time.
I think that kids should be able to isten to music as long as they keep on track of there work. Some kids work harder and focus more. some kids can't focus with all the noice that is in the room. kids would just be able to work better with music.
I agree. There are many distractions in the classroom andl listening to music while working can help people focus more. I believe that most students would be able to multi-task by listening to music and working on an assignment.
I think that students should be able to listen to music, I think that most of the time it helps students focus on there class work, and then every once and awhile you have the bad kid that just mess's around with the music and distracts other kids.
I agree, most students would be responsible enough to keep the volume low and not distract others. Yes, time to time there is a kid who wants attention or simply has their volume too loud. However, I believe that the school could find a resonable punishment.
I agree with the other comments, I think that students should be able to listen to music during class because for some people like me it takes away stress and eases their mind, which technically makes it easier to learn. Of course if it were to be interuppting the teachers class than the teacher should be able to take that privilege away from the student. But in some cases, kids can't control their adhd so it really depends.
I totally agree. Many studies show that music can calm students down. School is not a very calming place for most people. So music could be a great solution to this and decrease the amount of anxiety.
I agree with what you said. Personally, music helps me calm down especially when I am doing homework. I think that we should be able to listen to music.
I think that students should be allowed to listen to music as long as it is not affecting their learning ability. I think that if a student is failing, close to failing, or heading in the direction of failing the class then they shouldn't be able to listen to music. I think as long as others around you can't hear your music then its not a big deal.
