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 for me personally music helps me concentrate. as long as it's not loud or distracting then you should be able to freely listen to music.
I agree. However, do you think that students should be able to listen to music while the teacher is teaching a lesson? Personally, I don't think students should, unless the teachers trusts them or they have good grades and they can show that they are listening.
I believe that students should be allowed to listen to music during class. But if a student has his/her earphones in while the teacher is giving a lecture and they start to fail thats on the student not the teacher. But if music helps the student be more fucused than we should be allowed to have them during work time.
I agree. It is on the student if they begin to fail because of music. However, teachers should not take that responsiblity from everybody, and just that specific person. Most people work better with music. It just depends on if the student is willling to be responsible.
I think that it should depend on what the teacher thinks because if they are teaching a valuable lesson and you are listening to music you won't know what its about but if it is just like a study hall and the teacher doesn't care i think it should be fine. i also think music can help kids stay focused because it can relax them and help them.
I can see what you are saying. If the teacher believes that the lesson could be a bit confusing, then they should polietly ask the students (those who are listening to music) to take their earbud out just the teacher can focus on the lesson; not the students listening to music.
I think that students should be allowed to listen to music. Most students perfer to listen to music because it helps them focuses and do better with there homework.
I think that students should not be able to listen to music during instruction. Although. I do think that students should be allowed to listen to music when there is down time. For example in a class when you are researching or working on homework it should be allowed. I feel that music does help keep students focused on what they are doing.
I agree. Students should probably not listen to music while the teacher is teaching. However, I think it is ok to listen to music while working on the assignment the teache assigned. Music help many students focus more.
I feel that students should be allowed to listen to music in class only if their needing to do assignments or homework, but if you are learning something in class or are doing a test/quiz, then probably not. I think that listening to music will help students focus during class becuase it can help ease and relax students.
