Computer Classes in Schools


By Karen Kee

Nowadays, computers are


essentially an important part of human
life. Most routines are heavily
dependent on computer usage as they
make work more efficient. I firmly
agree with the stance that computer
classes should be made compulsory in
primary and secondary schools for its
benefits.
There are many advantages to the
implementation of computer classes in
schools. Firstly, students can learn to
use Microsoft Office applications, for
example Microsoft Word or Microsoft
Excel. All these applications are
commonly used in all sorts of
businesses and office work. If the
students can master the applications at
an early age, they will have a better
career prospects than other
competitors.
In addition, computer classes in
school allows students to be exposed
to the related co-curricular activities. To
illustrate, robotic competitions require
students to code commands with the
use of coding software in computers.
Computer classes facilitates the
learning of coding languages and allows
the students to explore the coding
languages at their own paces.
On the other hand, computer
classes in schools might come with
some inevitable consequences.
Students without self-discipline may
face some difficulties when they are
exposed to the technology. It is a fact
that computers offer a lot of
entertainment such as games or video
streaming, so it might cause students
to be addicted to the computer.
Consequently, their academic
performance might deteriorate due to
the misuse of computers.
In conclusion, computer classes in
schools bring more pros than cons.
Schools should set up more computer
laboratories to facilitate the computer
classes so that students can benefit
from these classes.

Technology -> exposure -> addiction ->


deterioration
