Say NO to Lap Tops

Do we really need lap tops? It would be hard on the environment. There are a lot of bad sites. If you aren't a good typer, it would be really hard for you to do everything. Sometimes there won't be any Internet to connect to. Lap tops are too expensive for the economy.There will sometimes not be any plug ins to plug in your lap top. There are to many problems with lap tops, and they should not be provided to the students of blatchley middle school.

Lap tops are very hard on the Earth. Just to make one lap top there is a lot of plastic and energy. To power a lop top, it takes a lot of energy and power plants. All of that can be harmful to both us and the Earth. Why would you want to do this to happen to our Earth?

There are so many sites it can be distracting. On the Internet there are a lot of bad sites. Myspace can have anything posted. You might see or have inappropriate pictures or bad words. Some sites could give your computer viruses. Would you want this to happen to you?

If you aren't a very good typer, everything could get harder. That could make your grades drop below average. There are too many unuseful keys on the keyboard. If you press one wrong thing. everything could disappear. Just use a pencil, it will go much faster. Is it worth all that when you could just write it nice and neat.

Sometimes you won't have any connection. It's really hard to connect to the internet. The Internet isn't everywhere, so it wouldn't help. It can be too slow or freeze. If that happens, your work could be lost. There's not always Internet.

It is too expensive to get lap tops. With about 360 kids in the school, and 1,00 dollars per lap top, that's 36,000 dollars! With that much money we could fix up our school. If you lose it, you have to pay more. All in all, they are too expensive.

What if the battery runs out? Sure there is a cord, but what if you aren't able to plug it in? If kids needed to plug it in during school we would need way more outlets. If you have an animal that chews on things, it might ruin the cord. The battery could even break! We as the students don't have time for lap tops.

Please, say no to lap tops. Remember the impact on the Earth. There are a lot of bad sites out there. If you aren't a good typer pencils are for you not lap tops. Sometimes there won't be any Internet to connect to. It would be way to much to get them. There aren't enough outlets. Just to many things could go wrong with lap tops. Blatchley, just say no!
