Getting more access to the
Internet during school? Sounds
pretty good to a typical student
sitting in class. Being allowed
to bring your laptop to do your
work? Now school got a little
more interesting. Not getting in
trouble when caught with your
phone out? Can it get any sweeter
then that?
The Buckeye Union High
School District officially instated a
“BYOD” (Bring Your Own Device)
policy in terms of technology in
the classroom for the new season
and equipped all classrooms and
a few buses with wi-fi access. So
now the question is, will students
take advantage of that or abuse
the privilege?
“I think the campus will have
to adjust sometimes,” said BUHS
principal Tawn Argeris. “Kids are
really good with their electronic
devices, it’s the adults that aren’t.
I mean having them in classrooms
isn’t a issue, having them on
campuses isn’t an issue.”
With technology changing
every year, advancing to higher
and better electronics, and the
young ones getting their hands
on them the second they can,
its only logical that they will
know more about technology,
the way it works and its tricks
since it’s their generation that
is growing with them.
“I think it’s a wonderful
idea and I wish that we could
implement it but the problem
is that its sort of unfair if a
student doesn’t have a device
and if a teacher requires them
to have their own device, it
just promotes the unfairness
that some people cant afford,”
said Sasheena Kurfman, math
teacher.
The more advance
technology gets, the more
expensive it gets. From
cellphones to iPads and iPods.
Will the ‘undeviced’ students
feel left out or ‘poor’ probably
stealing another student’s
things.
“I think initially they are
going to take advantage
and that just means be more
vigilant as a teacher, walk
around and make sure they are
on task with it. “ said science
teacher Liz Dye. “But I could
see a lot of students actually
using it to their advantage as
apposed to taking advantage
of it.”
The teachers can only hope
that the new policy won’t have
a huge effect on the students
learning. The students have
the call on this one since the
policy really effects them more.
“Yeah I do, especially in
weight training were I can
calculate how much I’ve been
adding to my weights and in
sports medicine if we need
to look up something off the
internet,” said senior Deion
Gonzalez.
“It’s a good advantage for
the kids who have access for
the internet but I think its
unfair because some people
can’t afford phones with
internet in it and for them to
be using their phones around
people who don’t have phones
is really unfair. Teachers
shouldn’t allow it and it
shouldn’t be allowed,” said
Bianca Valdez, senior.
The policy is set, now
teachers and some students
will have to adapt to the new
rules and hope that they will
use it to their advantage.
