Should Schools Get Rid Of Laptops

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if schools got rid of textbooks students would use laptops instead? I think that we should replace textbooks with laptops because using laptops instead of textbooks would be better for the environment. Additionally, laptops are more organized with more space for information. Furthermore laptops help motivation for students! textbooks could have hundreds of pages! that means that paper is wasted when we could just use laptops. Laptops have different files and folders! you could easily clean them out and organize yourself. Students rather go on computers to help motivate their learning and academics. Some people may feel that textbooks are better for students to have in school and at other activities. but you have to consider that by having a laptop you could have a lot more advantages then without a laptop.

Imagine having ten of these textbooks. Do you know how many trees people would have to cut down for the paper in textbooks. People would not have to cut down trees when we use laptops! In the website “tablets vs textbooks” it said that “a school with 100 teachers uses on average 250,000 pieces of paper annually” This piece of evidence emphasizes that by using 250,000 pieces of paper that means you would have to cut down? Just one tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets from the website “conservation”. Furthermore in the article “tablets vs textbooks” it also states that “a school of 1,000 students on average spends between $3,000-4,000 a month on paper.” The above evidence proves that we are spending so much money for trees to be cut down! If you want be able to breath don’t let textbooks take our trees away. Stick to
