During the time of their parent’s childhood, children were sent outside to play and called in at mealtimes. In today’ society, children are guarded and taught to stay closer to home just in case the neighbors are “bad people” who will cause them physical, mental or emotional harm. Not only does over protectiveness play a role in our children’s lack of physical activity, but they do not receive encouragement in school either. School’s offering Physical Education have declined 30% over the past decade while television teaching has increased over 30% in the past decade (Child and Adolescent Obesity). Where do we as a society place the blame for so many children being obese?
Socializing with friends and going out to have fun was another reason why I did not learn how to write proficiently. While in high school, I worked two jobs that consumed most of my time. My past focus on playing sports, socializing with friends, and working, instead of focusing on reading and writing, has caused me to have problems writing today. First, one of the reasons I am aliterate is because of playing sports. Playing sports in school took up time for practices and games that took away from learning and school work.
During the school year, students don’t have time to spend with their families or relax, because they have tons of homework in their face. Kids’ sometimes don’t have time to relax their minds. When kids’ over think, it could cause problem to them. Some families like to take a family vacation during summer, because that’s the only season of the year that they have a three month vacation. Without homework in their faces, they could enjoy their summer more.
The use of electronic devises to track young children probably means the parent is allowing too much freedom or unsupervised activities at too young an age. Others may argue that mobile phone provides a level of safety in the event of an emergency. They may contend that despite best efforts children still become separated from their parents in crowded areas, like an amusement park. Realistically, most families vacation one to two times a year; the cost of a cell
Computers, cellphones, and video games are also very distracting kids stay up all night on social websites on their phone or laptop and talk to friends or post pictures….then they wait, wait for other kids to comment or like it and that keeps them up all night long! Then there are video games kids will play them all day long then at night they’ll push aside things like homework and chores to continue their game but…what if they don’t finish by bedtime? Well then kids stay up extra hours just to finish a game or even just a level just so they can say they finished to all their friends mostly everything is a competition to kids now a
Todays kids are not going outside as much, are overweight and unhealthy in part because instead of going outside and playing they much rather sit inside and play online games with their friends. Family Life: When Huck is staying with the Grangerfords they go to church as a whole family, eat dinner together and have family time. In today’s society computers, work, or television distracts many families. These two things greatly differ because many modern families don’t go to church together, family dinners are not as common as they use to be, and parents are not around the home as much because they are putting in extra hours at the office - unlike the Grangerfords, whose only problem was when the Sheperdson’s would kill a family member! As a contemporary American teenager whose life is filled with technology, I find the life described in Huckleberry Finn very different from my own.
Hang It Up Assignment: Write an essay in which you argue for or against prohibiting cell phones in school. Technology is always growing in all areas of our lives, but perhaps the fastest in the world of communications. It seems that every single day some new process or gadget is created that lets us stay in touch with each other in ways that are always growing and changing. While these new developments start in the hands of adults, or the ones that can afford them, it is not long before that new cell phone finds its way into the hands of a child. Teachers are always looking for ways to bring technology into the classroom, but they probably did not have cell phones in mind when they started to follow that policy.
Today’s Technology and Its Effects on Kids Rebecca Staszak Globe University-GB Today’s Technology and Its Effect on Kids Technology today has taken the active lifestyle away from our young children. Kids today are busy playing with their video games, computers, iPods, or even their cell phones then enjoying outdoor activities. A majority of younger kids know how to play a computer game than ride a bike or use a smartphone than tie their shoe. Sure with all the technology available today, kids find the learning process more fun. Kids still need to be limited on how often they are using the technology.
People say that students can use their phones for emergencies at school but they can just make a phone call in the office. Also now days there are certain phone plans which include internet, so not only are they texting but they are now surfing the web as well! Students shouldn’t be allowed to have phones in school because it’s one of the major downfalls in their success at school. When the teacher is demonstrating a lesson to the class they’ll be busy with their phones instead. Also in most cases the students forget to turn off the volume to their cell phones which will then interrupt the class or test.
by following and easily clicking the “add friend” button to be friends what are they wanted to be friends which kids are awaken by some things rushed by using the social medias. The third one is how kids then and now use their free time. Kids before consume their free time by reading, bond with her family and play but why kids now use their free time consuming their whole day by sitting, relaxing and focusing in technology especially computer, laptop, tablet and cell phones just playing online games, browsing Internet, posting and chatting nonsense things in social medias consuming so many hours with it gives bad effects with the one who are using it.
