Debate Speech Monday 2nd February 2009 This house believes that laptops should be allowed in St. Catherines School. Allowing laptops in school means no, or very little, book to carry around.

Making mistakes though is part of life and since we make a lot of them while writing, too much paper is wasted. Instead when using a laptop, making a mistake is no big deal. 'Just press the ‘back space’ or ‘delete’ button and the mistake is gone in a split second. Forests and forests are being destroyed just so notebooks can be printed out for us when we end up ripping atleast 5% of the pages in each book. A previous member of the opposing team mentioned that fact of broken laptops. I beg to differ. Broken laptops occur occasionally and not all the time, like the earlier speaker exaggerated.

Besides that laptops that the school will provide, the school will make sure to provide a two or three extra ones incase of a “break down”. This way everything
