Have you ever wondered why your kids are not doing so well in school? Maybe your kids or someone that you know aren't doing as well as they used too.  One main reasons for this is that many schools are still using the older systems in their schools. For example teachers are using chalk boards instead of smart boards or teachers are using textbooks instead of the internet. By some schools upgrading their systems many kids marks will improve. The following paragraphs will explain some things about schools these days that make schools obsolete, some ways to make schools less obsolete and a few opinions of what parents think about schools today.

One of the main things that many schools do to make them obsolete is that teachers are taking away kids cell phones when they could be using them for educational purposes. usually when a teacher sees a student on their phone they emidiatly take away their phone as they assume that they are texting when really a student  might be looking up a word or an answer that they don't know. Now that students have celphones, we can access the internet in a matter of seconds instead of waiting a day to get into the schools computer lab. Another main thing that is making schools obsolete is that schools are starting at 8:30 in the morning or earlier. The problem about this is that in the morning kids are getting too tired to work and also they don't want to work. if they started school just 30 minutes later than usual, students would do much better work and they also won't be as tired.

there are many ways to make schools less obsolete. One way is to start using the internet in schools more. By using the internet more students will be able to find the answer to almost any question that they have in under 10 seconds. Schools could be spending their money on iPods for the school or even laptops that students without mobile devices could use. I asked my parents about what they thought about the schools being obsolete. They said "I think that the schools should forget about the past and start trying new things to use to teach kids. There is so much technology today that all kids should be on the honour role."

My opinion on schools being obsolete is that the schools should start being less obsolete and start using more technology. Teachers should start buying smart boards for every classroom because you can do a bunch of things at once on them. Also schools should start buying ipads so that they can let students without mobile phones access the internet.  Schools have to stop being afraid of letting students use mobile devices and just let students try using them. Technology will help students learn and get more knowledge.
