Subject: Request to reconsider the status quo decision to not allow students to use smartphones in the classroom
Dear Sirs/Madams
I am writing to express my concern about the status quo decision made by the schools to not allow students to use smartphones in the classroom. I understand that the school leaders possess a very little knowledge on technology use and their focus is more on the risks and not on the opportunities.
In the 21st century, smartphones have become an integral part of our daily lives, and they have the potential to greatly enhance the learning experience of students. With the help of smartphones, students can access a vast amount of information and educational resources, collaborate with their peers, and engage with the material in a more interactive and dynamic way.
However, I understand that the school leaders are concerned about the potential risks associated with the use of smartphones, such as distraction and cyberbullying. I would like to suggest that the school leaders, along with the teachers, come up with a mechanism to allow students to use the smartphones in a responsible and appropriate manner. This could include setting clear guidelines and expectations for the use of smartphones in the classroom, providing regular training and support for students and teachers, and monitoring the use of smartphones to ensure that they are being used in a safe and appropriate way.
I would like to request the District Education Office to reconsider this decision and to support the school leaders in coming up with a mechanism to allow students to use smartphones in the classroom. I am confident that with the right approach and support, the use of smartphones in the classroom can greatly enhance the learning experience of students and prepare them for the digital world.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
Mani Wangdi
